'I was talking to the constabulary chief this afternoon, and he told me that the fellow is sure to be apprehended. He has taken to the open bog, and there are eighteen in full cry after him. There is a search-warrant, too, arrived, and they mean to look him up at Kilgobbin Castle. 'To search Kilgobbin Castle, do you mean? asked Gorman. 'Just so.
She referred him to her brother before she could consent; and though, when Kostalergi inquired amongst her English friends, none had ever heard of a Lord Kilgobbin, the fact of his being Irish explained their ignorance, not to say that Kearney's reply, being a positive refusal of consent, so fully satisfied the Greek that it was 'a good thing, he pressed his suit with a most passionate ardour: threatened to kill himself if she persisted in rejecting him, and so worked upon her heart by his devotion, or on her pride by the thought of his position, that she yielded, and within three weeks from the day they first met, she became the Princess of Delos.
'You forget, my friend, that but for your own confounded stupidity, I should have been at Kilgobbin Castle by this time. 'And ye'll be there yet, with God's help! said he, turning the horse's head. 'Bad luck to them for the road-making, and it's a pity, after all, it goes nowhere, for it's the nicest bit to travel in the whole country.
To this gross insult Kearney never deigned any reply; and now more than two years passed without any tidings of his disreputable relative, when there came one morning a letter with the Roman postmark, and addressed, 'À Monsieur le Vicomte de Kilgobbin,

'She says not, and she seems in some way to be coerced by others; but a telegram this morning announces she would try and reach Kilgobbin this evening. 'What could coercion mean?
Rogan says it will be some days before he could pronounce him out of danger. 'Can he be removed? Can we take him back with us to Kilgobbin? 'That is utterly out of the question; he cannot be stirred, and requires the most absolute rest and quiet. Besides that, there is another difficulty I don't know if they would permit us to take him away. 'What! do you mean, refuse our bail?
'You can see the house now. It tops the trees yonder, said Dick. 'That is Kilgobbin Castle, then? said Joe slowly. 'There's not much of castle left about it. There is a square block of a tower, and you can trace the moat and some remains of outworks. 'Shall I make you a confession, Dick? I envy you all that!

'Is it the fellow who calls himself Lord Kilgobbin, I wonder? 'Maybe so, growled Adams, in a deep guttural, for he disliked the effort of speech. 'I don't know him, nor do I want to know him. He is one of your half-and-half Liberals that, to my thinking, are worse than the rebels themselves! What is this here in pencil on the back of the card? Mr.
'There, sir with the permission of my friends here I will ask you to conclude your reminiscences of my private papers, which can have no possible interest for any one but myself. 'Quite wrong in that, cried Kilgobbin, wiping his eyes, which had run over with laughter. 'There's nothing I'd like so much as to hear more of them.
Possessing a keen eye for men he began to recognise now why Berknowles had not chosen the easy-going Hennessey to look after Phyl and her affairs, and he guessed, just by the little bit he had seen of Kilgobbin and the servants, the slipshoddedness and waste going on behind the scenes in the absence of a master and mistress.
