The man called Thomas Corbet, the eldest son Anthony, Ginty Cooper the fortune-teller, Ambrose Gray, and Anthony himself, composed this interesting sederunt. The others had been assembled for some time before the arrival of Anthony, who consequently had not an opportunity of hearing the following brief dialogue.
"You may say what you like about tobacco, McMunn," he said, "but it's a comfort to a man when he has no company but a bear with a sore head." "Ay," said McMunn, "you'll smoke and you'll smoke, but you'll no make me any easier in my mind by smoking." Ginty drew a plug of black tobacco from his pocket, and began cutting shreds from it with a clasp knife.
"They almost threatened the life out of the poor creature," pursued her husband, "for Tom threatened to murder him if he betrayed them; and Ginty to poison him, if Tom didn't keep his word and I believe in my sowl that the same devil's pair would a' done either the one or the other, if he had broken his oath.
"Denis, come down a minute," she said, "come down, will you? here's a stranger that you haven't seen for some time." "What stranger?" he inquired, peevishly. "Who is it? I wish you wouldn't bother me I'm talkin' with a gentleman." "It's Ginty." "Ginty, is it?" said he, musing. "Well, that's odd, too to think that she should come at this very moment.
You would be what do you call it? you would be wiped out Even the English Army could do that. You have no artillery. You have no cavalry. What are you but " "Who said we were going to fight the English Army?" said Lord Dunseverick. "If you think we're a pack of dirty rebels," said Ginty, "you're making a big mistake. We're loyal men."
Below The McMunn Brothers was an ocean-going tramp steamer. One of her crew sat on the forecastle playing the "Swanee River" on a melodeon. McMunn, Ginty, and Lord Dunseverick were together in the cabin of The McMunn Brothers. McMunn, dressed precisely as he always dressed in his office, sat bolt upright on the cabin sofa.
The parson just laughed at Ginty, and said that celibacy was his misfortune, not his fault; and that he hoped to overcome it in time. That puzzled her some, and she came to me and asked what celibacy was. When I told her it was staying unmarried, like St. Paul my, but wasn't she mad, though! You ought to have seen her face. She was so mortified that she wouldn't speak to me for a week.
They then shook hands and separated, the stranger involuntarily influenced by the confident predictions of Ginty Cooper, although he was really afraid to say so; whilst Lady Gourlay felt her heart at one time elevated by the dawn of hope that had arisen, and again depressed by the darkness which hung over the fate of her son.
"Oh yes, I see; you were afraid Tom Ginty would be taking Mary Brady's pigs to Athlone. That was it, was it?" "No, yer honer, I war not afraid of that; but it might be as well there should be no scrimmage betwixt us, as in course there would not be, and we oncet man and wife. But as in course Mary has promised me now, she could not go and act like that."
It's the way I've always acted, and it's no a bad way." "Gosh," said Ginty, "there's somebody coming aboard of us now. The look-out man's hailing him." He left the cabin as he spoke. A few minutes later Ginty entered the cabin again. He was followed by a tall man, so tall that he could not stand quite upright in the little cabin. "It's the baron," said Ginty. "Guten Abend," said McMunn.
