"I say you must send him about his business. In point of fact, I think the fellow knows that he is discovered, and it is not unlikely that he may make an effort to carry off your daughter this very night." "But, Sir Robert, can we not seize him and surrender him to the authorities? Is he not an outlaw?" "Unfortunately, Mr. Folliard, he is not an outlaw; I stretched a little too far there.
"Well, Miss Folliard," said Fox, "we will not detain you any longer; this to you must be a painful scene; you may retire, madam."
"Why, then," she replied, "from Jemmy Hamilton's at the foot of Cullaniore." "False prophetess," replied the Cooleen Bawn, "you have told an untruth. I know where you came from last." "Then where did I come from, Miss Folliard?" said the woman, with unexpected effrontery.
I mean the Apostle Peter, slid to me, 'Come, Folliard, walk in, sir, by the great Deliverer that saved us from Pope and Popery, brass money, and ahem! I beg your pardon well, I say if he was to say so, I wouldn't leave her. There's affection for you; but she deserves it. No, if ever a girl was capable of keeping an old father from heaven she is."
"Shall I introduce you to the lady, though?" she proceeded, addressing the father; "but remember that, if I do, you must be a man, Mr. Folliard!" "In God's name! do what you like," said Mr. Hamilton, "but do it at once." She went upstairs, and said, "As I do not wish to bring your father up, Helen, until he is prepared for a meeting with Mr. Reilly, I will bring you down to him.
If the scaffold is to be my fate, I cannot but remember that many a noble spirit has closed the cares of an unhappy life upon it. I wish you good-day, Mr. Folliard." "By the Boyne! you are the most obstinate blockhead that ever lived; but I've done; I did all in my power to save you yet to no purpose. Upon my soul, I'll come to your execution."
Nobody was surprised at the conviction of the Red Rapparee; but, on the contrary, every one was glad that the country had at last got rid of him. Poor Helen, however, was not permitted to remain quiet, as she had expected. When Mr. Doldrum had furnished the leading counsel with his brief and a list of the witnesses, the other gentleman was surprised to see the name of Helen Folliard among them.
I'm glad you've got yourself from among these cruel and unconscionable Rapparees I'm glad you're free; but I tell you that if you had the wealth of Squire Folliard ay, or of Whitecraft himself, which they say is still greater, I wouldn't become your wife so long as she's in the state she's in." "That's strong language, Ellen, and I am sorry to hear it from you.
"Simply because the matter must be brought about with great caution. You must allow me a few days, say three or four, and the proofs shall be given." "Very well, Sir Robert, but in the meantime I shall not throw Reilly overboard." "Could I not be permitted to pay my respects to Miss Folliard before I go, sir?" asked Sir Robert.
"Now, I tell you what, Whitecraft, I am come to speak to you upon your position; but before I go farther, let me say a word or two to make you repent, if possible, for what you have done to others." "For what I have done, Mr. Folliard! why should I not repent, when I find I am to be hanged for it?"
