But if he expresses a wish for chicken jelly I'll let you know at once." I started at once. I met Bob Power just outside my own gate. He was evidently a little embarrassed, but he spoke to me with the greatest frankness. "I'm extremely sorry, Lord Kilmore," he said, "but I am afraid I hurt your nephew last night." "Badly?" "Not very," said Bob. "Collar bone and a couple of ribs.
These desperate circumstances inspired desperate councils, and it was decided by the cousins to endeavour to gain the great wood of Kilmore, near Charleville in the neighbourhood of Sir James' old retreat among the Galtee Mountains.
"I don't see," I said, "that I'll be the least use to you." "The point is," said Babberly, "that you're a Liberal." "Oh, you mustn't say that," said Lady Moyne. "That's only foolish gossip. I'm perfectly certain that Lord Kilmore never was " "Never," I said. "But then I never was a Conservative either." "That's just it," said Lady Moyne. "Don't you see?"
'They found, says the Bishop of Kilmore, 'below it a rounded hollow place in the earth, wherein were two or three bodies of these creatures that had plainly been smothered by the smoke; and, what is to me more curious, at the side of this den, against the wall, was crouching the anatomy or skeleton of a human being, with the skin dried upon the bones, having some remains of black hair, which was pronounced by those that examined it to be undoubtedly the body of a woman, and clearly dead for a period of fifty years.
That young man, Mr. Power, seemed to think that everything would be quiet until to-morrow. I hope he's right." "He's sure to be," I said. "Conroy is running the revolution and settles exactly what is to happen." "He was very confident," said Lady Moyne. "Ah! here's Marion. Now we can start. Good-bye, Lord Kilmore. Do your best here. I'll make the best arrangement I can with the Prime Minister."
Now, what do you think, Lord Kilmore?" "They'll be quite quiet," I said, "if you let them hold their meeting." "Oh, but that's impossible," said Clithering. "I quite agree with the Prime Minister there. Any sign of weakness on the part of the Government at the present crisis would be fatal, absolutely fatal. The Belfast people must understand that they cannot be allowed to defy the law."
But his audience appeared to understand him. Thousands of hands were held up and there was a kind of loud, fierce growl, which I took to be the swearing. Lord Moyne turned to me. "What am I to do, Kilmore?" "I don't know," I said. Malcolmson and the ten or twelve thousand men in front of him were still growling like a very angry thunderstorm at a distance. The thing was exceedingly impressive.
"But," I said, "Malcolmson wants to fight. He always said so." "Quite so, quite so. We all said so. I've said so myself; but it was always on the distinct understanding " "That it would never come to that. I've heard Babberly say so." "But damn it all, Kilmore! it doesn't do to push things to these extremes. The whole business has been mismanaged.
It was to arrive to-morrow. It was expected some time about mid-day, but Biddy's patience was exhausted long before, and she walked a great part of the way to Dublin to meet the dray. She returned with it, walking with the draymen, but within three miles of Kilmore she was so tired that they had to put her on the top of the boxes, and a cheer went up from the villagers when she was lifted down.
At this meeting, Father Peter Walsh, a Franciscan, and an old courtier of Ormond's, as "Procurator of all the Clergy of Ireland," secular and regular, produced credentials signed by the surviving bishops or their vicars including the Primate O'Reilly, the Bishops of Meath, Ardagh, Kilmore, and Ferns.
