"But, Hennessey, he is here; I saw him." "Where?" "By the door. I heard someone, and I thought it was you. The Prophet began to suspect that his dear relative, upset by the tragic events of the dinner table, had gone to sleep and had the nightmare. "Grannie, it must have been a dream." "No, Hennessey, no." "It must indeed. I left Mr. Sagittarius at Zoological House. I feel certain of that."
"We saw it done at the sugar-cane refinery," explained Bob. "I see," nodded Mr. Powers. "Well, the principle of making beet-sugar is the same as cane-sugar. By the use of chemical solutions the juice is cleared until it is perfectly white." Bob nudged Van with his elbow and the lads smiled understandingly. There was no danger of their forgetting Mr. Hennessey and his secret chemical formula.
Nuwell was silent for a moment, tapping the tips of his fingers together, apparently in deep thought. Then he said: "Maya, I think we've reached the point where you had better retire to your room and let us to talk privately. You can question Dr. Hennessey in the morning about any attempts the rebels may have made to contact him."
That call from the country where her mother had been born and where her mother's people had always lived had more in it than the voices that carried the message. "Well," said Hennessey, "you mayn't want to go to parties now, but you will when you are a bit older. However, you can please yourself Do you want to go to America?" "I do," said Phyl.
"He's an American and I've never had much dealings with Americans except by letter. By all accounts they are sharp business men, but I daresay he is all right. The thing that gets me is his coming over. Americans don't go thousands of miles for nothing, but if it's after any hanky-panky business about the property, maybe he'll find Jack Hennessey as sharp as any American."
"I hope I don't take a morbid view of it," he said. A few steps further on he relaxed his gait. "We have taken the Hennessey girl into custody. Do you imagine she was concerned?" "Have you questioned her?" "Yes; she denies everything, except that she told Durgin you had quarreled with the old gentleman." "I think Mary Hennessey an honest girl. She's little more than a child.
Kilgobbin Hennessey had managed to let the place seemed a dream of her childhood. She saw no future, and rebellion was impossible; there was nothing to rebel against except the dulness and greyness of life. No people could have been kinder than the Hennesseys; unfortunately they had numerous friends, and the friends of the Hennesseys did not appeal to Phyl.
By a downward glance every now and then he included Phyl in the conversation, but he addressed most of his remarks to Mr. Hennessey. "And you came over by the Holyhead route?" said the lawyer. "I did," replied Pinckney. "And what did you think of Kingstown?"
Hennessey when he started to tell us the chemical formula?" "Yes. He said it was a secret, and it seemed to me it would be wrong for me to listen. If I didn't know what that formula was I certainly couldn't tell it, and ignorance might help me out of an awkward position if any one should try to persuade me to." "You are a trump, old man."
You work the boys carefully down through the brush toward the race, and git 'em into position in easy range of the rebels, covering 'em behind logs. I'll take a circuit around to the left, and git over to the hill, behind the rebels, and near enough the mill for Hennessey to hear me. Then I'll fire a shot and yell for Hennessey.
