'Did he leave Goldenvale in disgrace? I asked him. 'No, he stayed on, and went and talked the Bishop over. The Bishop wrote to me; I have his letter, and you may see it, said this good priest." "And what did the Bishop say?" asked Mr. Green, who had listened attentively.
I saw the priest who wrote to me, a good man, but to my mind a poor student of human nature. He received me kindly, and made me welcome. In the evening we talked of Denis Quirk. He told me what a great man Denis had been before the divorce case. There never was such a scandal in Goldenvale. I asked him what sort of a woman was Mrs. Quirk. 'A splendid lady, said he, 'clever and talented.
"Goldenvale! Do you know this man?" he asked. "How should I?" replied the priest, almost irritably. "Could you expect me to know every priest in America? But I could find out if there were such a man." "I would take this letter to Denis Quirk, and allow him to deny it. It's a lie, a palpable lie. I am sure of that."

"Never mind how I obtained it. May I read it?" Denis asked the Mayor. "One minute first. Let us have the credentials of this reformer before we listen to his accusation.
Where would you go but to Ireland?" "Why not America? It is a great country, and cousins of my own in every city. It might be I would find a cousin in Goldenvale itself." "Goldenvale! Father Healy, you are a strange man, a many-sided man, but I don't think you are the best fitted person I would select to be discovering other men's secrets." "Denis Quirk won't help himself.
Once I was tempted to drift that was after my trouble, over there in Golden Vale but I was fortunate enough to find an old friend, a Father, who put things before me in their proper light."
