"According to all the laws of nature there ought to have been trouble. With a cargo like ours there ought to have been a lot of trouble. Instead of that the papers are handed over to us without a question." "It's peculiar," said Ginty. "It's very peculiar, and that's a fact." "Then there's the matter of those extra cases," said McMunn. "How many cases is there in the hold, Ginty?"
One evening, about that time, Ginty Cooper had been to see her brother, Tom Corbet, at the baronet's, and was on her way home, when she accidentally spied M'Bride in conversation with Norton, at Lord Cullamore's hall-door, which, on her way to Sir Thomas's, she necessarily passed.
Fenton the ragged and gigantic robber, who was so much changed by famine and misery that he did not know him the stranger his daughter Ginty Cooper, the fortune-teller Lord Cullamore the terrible pistol at his brain Dunroe and all those who were more or less concerned in or affected by his schemes, flitted through his disturbed fancy like the figures in a magic lantern, rendering his sleep feverish, disturbed, and by many degrees more painful than his waking reflections.
Our friend took it for granted that it had come from the fortune-teller, Ginty Cooper; but on opening it he perceived at a glance that he must have been mistaken, as the writing most certainty was not that of this extraordinary sibyl.
Good food, good wine, and a companion like Captain Quinn, gladden the heart, and the little party was very merry when Ginty deposited coffee and cigarettes and finally departed. In Miss Goold's house it was not the custom for the ladies to desert the dinner-table by themselves.
This was no-other than a celebrated fortune-teller of that day, named Ginty Cooper, a middle-aged sibyl, who enjoyed a very wide reputation for her extraordinary insight into futurity, as well as for performing a variety of cures upon both men and cattle, by her acquaintance, it was supposed, with fairy lore, the influence of charms, and the secret properties of certain herbs with which, if you believed her, she had been made acquainted by the Dainhe Shee, or good people themselves.
They walked together, sometimes side by side, sometimes driven apart by a string of carts. "If it had been Jimmy McMunn you wanted to see," said Ginty, "you might have had further to go. Some says Jimmy's in the one place, and more is of opinion that he's in the other. But I've no doubt in my own mind about where Andrew will go when his time comes." "You know him pretty well, then?" "Ay, I do.
By the light of the latter, Ginty perceived that there was nothing between them but a thin partition of boards, through the slits of which she could, by applying her eye or ear, as the case might be, both see and hear them.
Did anyone ever hear the like of that a man refusing money that was due to him, and it offered?" "It's out of the course of nature," said Ginty. "They told you," said Lord Dunseverick, "that you could pay Von Edelstein, and he'd give you a receipt." "Ay, Von Edelstein. And where's Von Edelstein?" "He's coming on board this evening," said Lord Dunseverick.
He had scarcely concluded, when old Anthony made his appearance, with that mystical expression on his face, half sneer, half gloom, which would lead one to conclude that his heart was divided between remorse and vengeance. "Well," said he, "you're at work, I see honestly employed, of course. Ginty, how long is Mr. Ambrose here dead now?"
