Hycy, having bade him good night at the hall-door, returned again to the parlor, and called Nanny Peety "Nanny," said he, "which of the Hogans did you see to-day?" "None o' them, sir, barrin' Kate: they wor all out." "Did you give her the message?" "Why, sir, if it can be called a message, I did." "What did you say, now?"
It might have been remarked that the Hogans eyed Bryan, soon after making his appearance, with glances expressive of anything but good feeling. It was not, however, when he first arrived, or danced with Hanna Cavanagh, that these boding glances were turned upon him, but on the occasion of his performing a reel with Kathleen.
On them suspicion might, indeed, very naturally have rested, were it not for the evidence of Hycy himself, who at once admitted that he could exonerate them from any suspicion, as he knew both how and where they had passed the night in question. So far, therefore, the Hogans, dishonest as they were unquestionably reputed to be, now stood perfectly exonerated from all suspicion.
"Don't lay the blame upon the Hogans," replied Kate, fiercely "the Hogans, bad as people say they are, only acted under Hycy Burke. It was Hycy Burke." "But," said Chevydale, probably out of compassion for the old man, "you must know we are not now investigating Mr. Burke's conduct."
The Cavanagh family is but an upstart one at best; it wants antiquity, ma'am a mere affair of yesterday, so what after all could you expect from it?" Honest Jemmy looked at him and then groaned. "An upstart family! that'll do oh, murdher well, 'tis respectable at all events; however, as to havin' the Hogans about them they wor always about them; it was the same in their father's time.
"We know you do," said Bat, with a vindictive but approving sneer. "I assure you," continued Hycy, "I wish the young man well." "Durin' der lives," repeated Phats, who had evidently been pondering over Hycy's promised gift to the Hogans; "throth," he observed with a grin, "dere may be something under dat too. Ay! an' she wishes Bryan M'Mahon well," he exclaimed, raising his red eyebrows.
The first white child born in Cincinnati was a son of an Irish settler named John Cummins; the first house built on its site was erected by Captain Hugh McGarry, while "the McGarrys, Dentons, and Hogans formed the first domestic circle in Kentucky."
Hycy Burke that gave the Hogans the money to make the Still, set it up and to Teddy Phats to buy barley; and although he didn't tell them it was to ruin Bryan M'Mahon he did it, sure they all knew it was 'spishly when he made them change from Glendearg above, where they were far safer, down to Ahadarra."
In a few days after the incident of the stable, he contrived to see Philip Hogan, with whom he appointed a final meeting in Cavanagh's kiln on the night of the Kemp; at which meeting, Teddy Phats and the other two Hogans were also to be present, in order to determine upon the steps which he ultimately proposed to take, with a view to work out his purposes, whatever those purposes may have been.
Little you know that I heard your bargain this evenin' wid Clinton, and that you're now gone to meet the Hogans and Teddy Phats upon some dark business, that can't be good or they wouldn't be in it; an' little you know what I know besides. Anybody the misthress plaises may sit up for you, but I won't." CHAPTEE XI. Death of a Virtuous Mother.
