Nor would he let any of his friends accompany him; he had something more important for both Edstrom and Keating to do and as for MacKellar, he could not get about rapidly enough. Hal bade Edstrom go to the post-office and get the registered letter, and proceed at once to change the bills.
In 1480, after two years of rival parties and viceroys, Lord Grey was feign to resign his office, and Kildare was regularly appointed Deputy to Richard, Duke of Gloucester, afterwards Richard III. Two years later, Keating was deprived of his rank by Peter d'Aubusson, Grand Master of Rhodes, who appointed Sir Marmaduke Lumley, an English knight, in his stead.
I believe the hold-up man was one of those strikers who have been out of jobs all winter. Smith thinks so." "Who?" "Judge Smith." "That's better." "Did you see his face?" "What are you, bub a detective?" "Rosie Keating says I'd make a better policeman than lawyer. She's sore at me for taking Miss Throckmorton to Mam' Galli's the other night.
You struck it just right; we're giving a big dinner here to-night," he explained, "one of Maria's best. You come in with me. It's a celebration for old Keating, a farewell blow-out." Channing started and laughed. "Keating?" he asked. "That's funny," he said. "I haven't seen him since since before I was ill." "Yes, old Jimmie Keating. You've got nothing against him, have you?"
He knew this paper; an evening journal selling for a cent, and read by working-men. Persons of culture who referred to it disposed of it with the adjective "yellow." "I know," said MacKellar, noting Hal's tone. "But it's the only paper that will publish your story anyway." "Where is this Keating?" "He's been up at the mine. It's too bad you didn't meet him." "Can we get hold of him now?"
Those who had the pleasure of being present at the pleasant soirées at his house, to which he was accustomed to invite the literary and artistic notabilities of the neighbourhood, will not easily forget how pleasantly the evenings passed; how everyone enjoyed the charades and theatricals which were so excellently managed by the gifted Miss Keating, then a governess in the family; how, too, everyone was charmed with the original and convenient arrangement for supplying visitors with refreshments.
His was one of those just-as-good cheap-substitute minds, incapable of harbouring more than one idea at a time, and during those sixty days of quiet seclusion it was filled with an ever-growing resentment against Officer Keating. Every day, as he moved about his appointed tasks, he brooded on his wrongs.
Cartwright had told a story about Hal's efforts to hold up the company for money. "Incidentally," said Keating, "he added the charge that you had seduced a girl in his camp." Hal stared at his friend. "Seduced a girl!" he exclaimed. "That's what he said; a red-headed Irish girl." "Well, damn his soul!" There followed a silence, broken by a laugh from Billy. "Don't glare at me like that.
In the year 1488, Keating was one of those who took an active part in favour of the pretender Lambert Simnel, and although his pardon had been sternly refused by Henry VII., he retained possession of the Hospital until 1491, when he was ejected by force, "and ended his turbulent life," as we are told, "in the most abject poverty and disgrace."
