"Perhaps not all a lie," answered the priest; "perhaps he heard something about Keegan not very flattering to the attorney; no doubt Thady was asking the boys about the rent, and threatening them with Keegan as a receiver over the property, or something of that sort; and very likely one of those boys from Drumleesh said something about a bog-hole, which may be Thady didn't reprove as he ought to have done.
"I was saying that divil another potato he should dig in Drumleesh, nor another grain of corn shall he sow or rape; that's what I was saying." "Well, Misthur Thady, you're the masthur, thank God, an' if you say so, it must be done. But Joe Reynolds is not that bad either: he was sayin' tho' at Mrs.
"That's jist what I did then; but he's so foolish, and so bowld, there's no making him mind what one would say. I did tell him, Father John, that I was afeared that there would be some lads in it wouldn't be his well-wishers. But he laughed at me, and towld me there were none of the boys through the counthry war so fond of him as those Reynoldses and Byrnes, and all them others down at Drumleesh."

"What were you saying about Keegan, then, to those men yesterday?" "I don't know what I said I don't know I said anything; they were threatening him, if he came on Drumleesh for rent; if they have a plot, I don't know it." "But, Thady, are you to join them again? do you mean again to renew your revellings of last night? have you agreed to see them again?" "I have." "And where?"
