Dick stooped and let the light of the lantern penetrate beneath the overhanging branches. There, within three steps of the house, lay Fergus, pale and blood-stained, with a sickening dent in his temple a murdered man.

The place for which we were bound was Ballybruree, a town, it called itself, on the west coast of the green island. Her father, Mat Dwyer, Esquire, he signed himself, and her mother, were both alive, and she had a number of brothers and sisters, and a vast number of cousins to boot.
