From one of the back rows a voice was heard: "What about the pump, your reverence?" "Well, indeed, you may ask," said the priest. And immediately he began to speak of the wrong they had suffered by not having a pump in the village. The fact that Almighty God had endowed Kilmore with a hundred mountain streams did not release the authorities from the obligation of supplying the village with a pump.
I have many a fatigue to encounter before that happy times comes, when your poor old simple friend may again give a loose to the luxuriance of his nature; sitting by Kilmore fireside, recount the various adventures of a hard-fought life; laugh over the follies of the day; join his flute to your harpsichord; and forget that ever he starved in those streets where Butler and Otway starved before him.
I do not care for the kind of offhand composition Bland asked for. "'Interview with a Revolutionary Peer," said Bland, "'Lord Kilmore on the Ulster Situation. You were just going to say " "Oh, nothing much. Only that the feelings of that New Zealander " "Meditating on the ruins of a shattered civilization," said Bland. "I can put in that part myself." " Are nothing to yours " I said.
The Irish member from Kilmany, and him from Kilmore, when he brags there never was a murder in either, don't expect the English to believe it, for he is availed they know better, but the brag pleases the patriots to home, on account of its impudence.
"It always is," I said. "I've lived through seventy or eighty of them." "But this is much worse than most," he said. "A man called Malcolmson arrived this afternoon, a colonel of some sort. Was in the artillery, I think." "You read his letter in The Times, I suppose?" "Yes, I did. But I needn't tell you, Kilmore, that that kind of thing is all talk. My wife "
It was signed by about seventy Catholic peers and commoners, by the Bishop of Kilmore, by Procurator Walsh, and by the townsmen of Wexford almost the only urban community of Catholics remaining in the country.
As the priest did not answer, he said, "I wouldn't be surprised if she was worth another fifty." "Hardly as much as that," said the priest. "Hadn't her aunt the house we're living in before mother came to Kilmore, and they used to have the house full of lodgers all the summer.
Among those who suffered death during the short space of the Protectorate, are counted "three bishops and three hundred ecclesiastics." The surviving prelates were in exile, except the bedridden Bishop of Kilmore, who for years had been unable to officiate.
"But," I said to him, "suppose that the men you are enrolling take what you say seriously " "I assure you, Lord Kilmore," said Babberly, "we are quite serious." I could hear Malcolmson at the other end of the table explaining to Moyne a scheme for establishing a number of artillery forts on the side of the Cave Hill above Belfast Lough.
And it wasn't she who was going to hand over her money to the priest or his architect to put up what window they liked. She had been inside every church within twenty miles of Kilmore, and would see that she got full value for her money. At the end of the week she called at the priest's house to tell him the pictures she would like to see in the window, and the colours.
