"It is a true statement," said the Philosopher. "So what we arranged was this that you should go to live with these little men in their house under the yew tree of the Gort. There is not a policeman in the world would find you there; or if you went by night to the Brugh of the Boyne, Angus Og himself would give you a refuge." One of the Leprecauns here interposed.
The Thin Woman flew to him-"Husband," said she, "the Leprecauns of Gort na Cloca Mora have kidnapped our children." The Philosopher gazed at her for a moment. "Kidnapping," said he, "has been for many centuries a favourite occupation of fairies, gypsies, and the brigands of the East. The usual procedure is to attach a person and hold it to ransom.
To name only a few that come into one's mind, the nuns' co-operative factories, which have revived Irish point lace at Youghal, Kenmare, Gort, Carrick-on-Suir, Carrickmacross, and Galway, are instances. Father Dooley, in Galway, has started a woollen factory, with a capital of £10,000, in which nearly two hundred girls are employed, of whom many earn £1 10s. a week.
"I did not," said the Philosopher. "Did you kill a robin redbreast?" "Never," said Meehawl. "By the pipers," he added, "that old skinny cat of mine caught a bird on the roof yesterday." "Hah!" cried the Philosopher, moving, if it were possible, even closer to his client, "now we have it. It is the Leprecauns of Gort na Cloca Mora took your washboard. Go to the Gort at once.
She can lift a bag of meal under her arm easier than I can; but she's a timid creature for all that." "Whatever the reason is I am certain that he has the girl, and I am inclined to think that he was directed to her by the Leprecauns of the Gort. You know they are at feud with you ever since their bird was killed?" "I am not likely to forget it, and they racking me day and night with torments."
But the big guard did not reach Hanlon. One of the newer guards, a giant Swede named Jenssen, stopped him. "Aw, lay off the kid, Gort. He's okay. That stunt of feeding the Greenies fertilizer makes 'em turn out lots more work, and we'll get us bigger bonuses 'cause of it." But Gorton was not the type to know when to quit.
Life is not any use at all unless we find a laugh here and there but this time, decent men of the Gort, I cannot go with you, for it is laid on me to give myself up to the police." "You would not do that," exclaimed the Thin Woman pitifully: "You wouldn't think of doing that now!" "An innocent man," said he, "cannot be oppressed, for he is fortified by his mind and his heart cheers him.
A lovely man; you'd think he was alive and all, and he having his hat in his hand. Everyone kneels down on the steps of it and says a few prayers and walks away. It is as high as that tree below. If he was in Ireland now the pension would go someway right. "He was the best and the best to everyone; he got great sway in the town of Gort, and in every other place.
But, be this as it may, in Galway three generations of landlordism are considered sufficient repentance for shopkeeping in Gort, not to speak of Calcutta. Since then the family history had been stainless.
"Th' punk jumped Gort an' tried t' kill 'im!" one of the guards yelled, but was shouted down by the engineers, the checkers and the cook before the other slow-witted guards came to their senses enough to corroborate their fellow's mendacious claim. The senior engineer explained fully and concisely what had actually happened.
