It was now near nine o'clock, and my brother was beginning to relate an anecdote concerning the clergyman who had preceded Father Molloy in the parish, when a messenger from Mr. Wilson, already alluded to, came up in breathless haste, requesting the priest, for God's sake, to go down into town instantly, as the Kellys and the Grimeses were engaged in a fresh quarrel.
Your frinds that's av' you mane the Kellys is very able to take care of themselves." "If your brother, Miss Lynch, will lave Dunmore House altogether, and let you have it to yourself, will you go and live there, and give him the promise not to marry Martin Kelly?" "Indeed an' she won't," said the widow. "She'll give no promise of the kind.
So, after much consultation, pen, ink, and paper were procured, and the following letter was concocted between them, all the soft bits having been great stumbling-blocks, in which, however, Anty's quiet perseverance carried the point, in opposition to the wishes of all the Kellys. The words put in brackets were those peculiarly objected to. Dunmore Inn. February, 1844.
As she said to herself, "a Kelly wouldn't demane herself to ask a brass penny from a Lynch." She didn't even speak to her daughters about it, though the continual twitter she was in made them aware that there was some unusual burthen on her mind. It was not only to the Kellys that the idea occurred that Anty in her illness might make a will.
About five-and-twenty cousins muster together in red coats and top-boots, every Tuesday and Friday during the hunting-season. It would hardly be wise, in that country, to quarrel with a Kelly, a Dillon, or a Blake. We must now return to Dunmore, and say a few parting words of the Kellys and Anty Lynch; and then our task will be finished.
Of course the Kellys would force her to make a will, if she didn't do it of her own accord; if not, they'd forge one. There was some comfort in that thought: he could at any rate contest the will, and swear that it was a forgery. He swallowed a dram, and went off, almost weeping to Daly. "Oh, Mr Daly, poor Anty's dying: did you hear, Mr Daly she's all but gone?"
"Well," he said, "the Lord told me to come over and give you this." And he handed me the very amount I had been asking the Lord for! Brother Renbeck and I were holding a meeting out near Kellys, North Dakota. After the service one afternoon I saw Brother Renbeck sitting in a corner of the room weeping. I went over to him and asked him what was the trouble.
But peace to his spirit, wherever it flies, To act as an angel and mix with the skies; Those poets who owe their best fame to his skill, Shall still be his flatterers, go where he will; Old Shakespeare receive him with praise and with love, And Beaumonts and Bens be his Kellys above."
These people here are all very well, I dare say, but they must be a great bother to you, eh? so interested, you know, in everything they do." "Ah! Barry, you don't know them." Barry remembered that he would be on the wrong tack to abuse the Kellys.
And we can imagine that, when the idea first came upon the minds of those three, that the entire family of the Kellys was to be sacrificed to stop the tongue of one talkative old woman, a horror must have fallen upon them as they recognised the duty which was incumbent on them. The duty of saving those six unfortunates they did not recognise.
