Well, yer honours, this I did I left the Captain's body with the police I took the gig to Brown Hall and I brought home Miss Feemy's bundle as had been left there in the gig, when the Captain came out into the avenue and that's the long and the short of what I knows about it, yer honours at laste, all I knows about the murder." "The prisoner then owned to you," continued Mr.
In vain she asked him how she was to bear the long days till she saw him again; Ussher had no true sympathy for such feelings as were racking Feemy's heart and brain; he merely bid her keep up her spirits, and not be foolish; that he would see her on Tuesday, and that after Tuesday week she would have nothing more to make her unhappy.
McKeon was losing, or had lost, whatever good opinion she might ever have had of Feemy: and when Louey ill-naturedly added, "Oh laws! not he the man never thought of her," Father John felt sure that there was a slight feeling of triumph among the female McKeons at the idea of Feemy's losing the lover of whom, perhaps, she had been somewhat too proud.
Thady, with the owld blood in your veins, and in Miss Feemy's may the divil's curse blacken him for the name he give her! you wouldn't be putting up quiet and aisy with what he's done? and the like of him too!" By this time Thady had stopped, and was beginning to waver in his determination of going to the priest.
If you could have heard how warmly, how affectionately he asks after the sister that won't mention his name; if you could know how much more anxious he is on her account and his father's, than on his own, Feemy's coldness and repugnance would strike you as it does me. I'm afraid her chief sorrow is still for the robber that would have destroyed her, and has destroyed her brother."
Captain Ussher, if you'll plaze to go on, or stay behind, I'll be obliged, for I want to spake to Feemy; and there's no occasion in life for my throubling you to hear what I've to say." "You can say what you like, Macdermot, but I shan't leave you; for though Feemy's your sister, you're not fit to guide her, or yourself either, for you're drunk."
He did not go home to the Cottage, but again passed the night at Mr. McKeon's, at Drumsna; and a most sad and melancholy night it was. After witnessing Feemy's death, and seeing that the body had been decently and properly disposed, Mrs. McKeon had returned home, and her husband had found her quite ill from the effects of the scene she had gone through.
McKeon called it had only wanted a fortnight to the first day on which the trial could take place; and as it quickly slipped away, day by day, to that bourn from which no day returns, poor Feemy's sorrow and agonies became in every way more acute.
Now Thady was in general so very unobservant so little inclined to interfere with, if he could not promote, the amusements of his dependants moreover, so unaccustomed to scold that Biddy and the others round her soon saw that something was the matter. "What are you staring at, you born fool? If Miss Feemy's gone up to Ballycloran, do you follow her."
