Doyle wanted some, if not all, of the dirt removed from the floor beforehand. "What tune's that young Kerrigan's playing?" said Gallagher. "I don't know," said Doyle. "I've more to do than to be listening to tunes. Mary Ellen, can you not see that there's three corks out of porter bottles underneath the table? Will you take them out of it now, like a good girl?"
She left the room, came back again almost at once for the broom which she had forgotten, and then left decisively, slamming the door. The Major crossed the room and looked out of the window. He saw Doyle and Gallagher go into Kerrigan's shop, and wondered vaguely what they wanted there.
With them came a Republican mayor and all his Republican associates on the ticket, who were now supposed to carry out the theories of the respectable and the virtuous. Cowperwood knew what it meant and prepared at once to make overtures to the enemy. From McKenty and others he learned by degrees the full story of Tiernan's and Kerrigan's treachery, but he did not store it up bitterly against them.
"Not so much as you might think," said Dr. O'Grady. "Once people get married, you know, Mr. Billing, it often happens generally in fact not necessarily twins, but more or less that kind of thing. I can quite understand Thady making the mistake. And the girl young Kerrigan's going to marry really is a grandniece of the General's. Thady was quite right there." "I'd like to see her," said Mr.
O'Grady greeted him. "Good-evening, Mr. Billing," he said. "I hope you've had a pleasant and satisfactory afternoon." Sergeant Colgan and Constable Moriarty came out of the barrack together. They joined the group opposite the hotel. Constable Moriarty was grinning broadly. He had evidently heard some version of the story about young Kerrigan's twins.
Michael Antony, who was very well accustomed to errands of this kind, went off at once. Doyle glanced at Gallagher, who appeared to be absorbed in completing the transcription of his shorthand notes, the task at which he had been interrupted in the morning by young Kerrigan's cornet playing. He seemed to be very busy.
Billing: It may simply have been Dr. O'Grady's force of character which vanquished him. He allowed himself to be led away. "Now Thady," said Dr. O'Grady, "tell me exactly what happened and what the trouble is." "It was on account of my mentioning young Kerrigan's wife," said Gallagher. "Young Kerrigan hasn't got a wife," said the Major. "Better begin at the beginning," said Dr. O'Grady.
"What tune's that young Kerrigan's after playing?" said Gallagher solemnly. Father McCormack looked anxiously at Major Kent. The Major fixed his eyes on the stuffed fox in the glass case. It was Doyle who answered Gallagher. "It's no tune at all the way he's playing it," he said. "Didn't you hear the doctor saying he had it wrong?"
Moriarty appeared to have conveyed the message to young Kerrigan. Dr. O'Grady, still leaning out of the window, spoke again, this time evidently to Kerrigan. "Don'ts you know you're getting it wrong every time?" he said. Young Kerrigan's voice, faint and apologetic, reached the members of the committee through the window.
