There might be a difficulty about unusual events like the erection of statues, but a tune might be kept for them which would at all events warn people not to expect an auction, a presentation or a political meeting. Nearly half the people who were doing business in the fair assembled at three o'clock in the square outside Doyle's hotel.
In Mary Ellen's case it would have taken a long time if it were to be in the least effective. Doyle's call was urgent. "Why didn't you come when you heard me calling you?" he said. Mary Ellen looked at him with a gentle tolerant smile. She belonged to a race which had discovered the folly of being in a hurry about anything. She knew that Doyle was not really in a hurry, though he pretended to be.
He'll leave before it comes to that. And in any case, I warned him that he'd endanger his life if he came to Doyle's hotel." The dinner was, for the most part, difficult to eat; but the Major, who was really an abstemious man, succeeded in satisfying his appetite with biscuits and cheese; a tumbler of whisky and soda and a glass of port further cheered him.
"What on earth did you go there for," said the Major, "if you wanted to get to Doyle's farm?" "When we'd passed the bog," said Gallagher, "we took a twist round, like as we might be trying to cut across to the Dunbeg Road." "You seem to have gone pretty well all around the town," said Dr. O'Grady. "I suppose you enjoyed driving about in a large motor. Was that it?"
But this was not to be done in the face of the enemy, with the creek before him wide and swollen. Marion moved rapidly up the creek, which he swam at the first favorable point some five miles above Witherspoon's. This brought him nearer to Doyle's position, but the latter had not waited for him.
The crowd, being as Gallagher always asserted intensely patriotic, was not at all pleased at this beginning. Several people groaned loudly. Mr. Billing listened to them with a bland smile. The people were still further irritated and began to boo. Thady Gallagher broke suddenly from Doyle's control, and rushed forward waving his arms. "Pull the Yank down out of that," he shouted.
Sergeant Colgan, though Gallagher insinuated evil things about him, was a man with a strict sense of propriety. He must have wanted very much to hear something more about Doyle's guest, but he marched off up the street followed by Moriarty. Doyle and Gallagher watched them until they were out of sight. Then Gallagher spoke again.
He hinted that the people of Ballymoy would be quite satisfied if the statue stood for twenty-four hours. The weather was exceptionally fine and calm. There was no reason if the unveiling were carefully done why Doyle's cement should be subjected to any strain whatever. At nine o'clock on the morning of the Lord-Lieutenant's visit, Dr.
You're in a 'state, as my old housekeeper would say, but you'll be all right presently. As soon as I've made a salad, and had a marrowbone, you and I and Patsy Kernaghan are going to Nolan Doyle's ranch. . . . My dear, you must do what I say, and if you do, you'll be happy yet. I don't see how, quite, but it is so; and meanwhile, you mustn't make any mistakes. You must play the game.
"I must say I think he might have let us know a little sooner. I was out early and I didn't get the message till an hour ago. Where's Doyle?" "Doyle's making Thady Gallagher drunk in the hotel," said the Major. "Good," said Dr. O'Grady. "That's much the best thing to do with Thady. But I wish he'd be quick about it, for I want to speak to him." "Here he is coming now," said Father McCormack.
