Hannay thought all this provocation was of no importance and bound over both father and son to keep the peace an indefensible decision, a decision only to be explained by the sympathy everywhere shown to Queensberry because of his victory over Wilde, otherwise surely any honest magistrate would have condemned the father who sent obscene letters to his son's wife a lady above reproach.
In summer the yacht brought him from "Hannay & Majendie's" dock to Fawlness creek. At Three Elms Farm he found Maggie waiting for him. This had been going on, once, sometimes twice a week, for nearly three years, ever since he had rented the farm and brought Maggie from Scale to live there. The change had made the details of his life difficult.
Now I cannot say that Hannay, the wife of Tyope, is really bad; she is not nearly as bad as he, but then Hannay is silly and allows him to make her his tool. Everything that concerns her clan things that he of course is not entitled to know she tattles to him; and she tells him everything else that she sees, hears, or imagines. I know it to be so.
"She is distressingly brisk and healthy, and I should say, my dear, not of a sympathetic nature, which is always a pity in a young woman." After this somewhat depressing visit, the call upon Mrs. Roberts was a refreshing one. She received her very cordially. "I like you, Miss Hannay," she said, when, after a quarter of an hour's lively talk, the Major and his niece got up to go.
I laid a pound note on the form beside me. 'It's yours, mate, if you get through to Scotland Yard and speak the piece I'm goin' to give you. He went over to the instrument. 'What d'you want to say to the bloke with the long name? 'Say that Richard Hannay is detained at the A.P.M.'s office in Claxton Street.
"What do you think of her?" said the lady to Mr. Gorst. "Oh, I think she's magnificent." "Do you think he'll be able to live up to it?" "Why not?" said Mr. Gorst cheerfully. "Well, it wasn't very gay for him before he married, and I don't imagine it's going to be any gayer now." "Now" said Mr. Hannay, "I understand what's meant by the solemnisation of holy matrimony.
Of recent years there has been much controversy concerning the expulsion of the Acadians and widely differing opinions have been expressed on the one hand by Parkman, Murdoch, Hannay, Hind and Aikins and on the other by Casgrain, Richard, Porier, Gaudet and Savary.
"I will do my best," the Doctor said grimly; "but the British subaltern is pretty well impervious to snubs; he belongs to the pachydermatous family of animals; his armor of self conceit renders him invulnerable against the milder forms of raillery. However, I think you can be trusted to hold your own with him, Miss Hannay, without much assistance from the Major or myself.
Here, boy, light the candles and bring two sodas and brandies." "Well, Bathurst," he went on, when they had made themselves comfortable in two lounging chairs, "what do you thing of Miss Hannay?" "I was prepared to admire her, Doctor, from what you said; it is not very often that you overpraise things; but she is a charming girl, very pretty and bright, frank and natural."
During a political campaign in Mayo in 1910 I had some delightful conversations with Canon Hannay in my hotel at Westport, and his views expressed in the volume from which I quote are only a development of those which he then outlined. Both as to the vexed questions then disturbing North and South Ireland and as to the lines along which national growth ought to take place we had much in common.
