You are Milly Erne's child. Your name is Elizabeth Erne. You're not Oldring's daughter. You're the daughter of Frank Erne, a man once my best friend. Look! Here's his picture beside Milly's. He was handsome, an' as fine an' gallant a Southern gentleman as I ever seen. Frank came of an old family. You come of the best of blood, lass, and blood tells."
Sheep had been slain, and chickens and geese had lent savoury aid to the banquet of the warriors, who also, in the absence of other fuel, were constrained to make short work of Lord Erne's trees. But they had done their work cheerfully in the cold and wet, and had pitched tents for the Ulster men.
An' now when I know what it means what you've done I'm burnin' up with hell's fire!" "Oh, Lassiter no no you don't love me that way!" Jane cased. "If that's what love is, then I do." "Forgive me! I didn't mean to make you love me like that. Oh, what a tangle of our lives! You Milly Erne's brother! And I heedless, mad to melt your heart toward Mormons.
On his marriage he settled on the Island of Achill, near here, and farmed there until he was offered some land agencies, which occupied so much of his time, that he, after some twenty years' residence in Achill, elected to take a farm on the mainland.

'Pears to me that you've thrown away your big heart on love love of religion an' duty an' churchmen, an' riders an' poor families an' poor children! Yet you can't see what love is how it changes a person!... Listen, an' in tellin' you Milly Erne's story I'll show you how love changed her.
An' he died with his teeth so tight shut I couldn't have pried them open with a knife. Slack an' Metzger that same year both heard me whisper the same question, an' neither would they speak a word when they lay dyin'. Long before I'd learned no man of this breed or class or God knows what would give up any secrets! I had to see in a man's fear of death the connections with Milly Erne's fate.
"It's dangerous to propose elopement to a Mormon woman. Well, I was expecting you. Now will be a good hour to show you Milly Erne's grave. The day-riders have gone, and the night-riders haven't come in. Bern, what do you make of that? Need I worry? You know I have to be made to worry."
Yet as she thought of her great motive, of Tull, and of that other whose name she had schooled herself never to think of in connection with Milly Erne's avenger, she suddenly found she had no choice. And her creed gave her boldness far beyond the limit to which vanity would have led her. "Lassiter, I see so little of you now," she said, and was conscious of heat in her cheeks.
