The Beams were in Florida, where, so Lanigan wrote, they had an idea of buying an orange grove, and where, so Calthea wrote, she would not live if they gave her a whole county. The familiar faces all being absent, and very few people dropping in from Lethbury or the surrounding neighborhood, the Squirrel Inn was lonely, and the hostess thereof did not hesitate to say so.
Fergus Reilly is on the Trail of the Rapparee He Escapes Sir Robert begins to feel Confident of Success. Lanigan, on passing the dining parlor, heard what he conceived to be loud and angry voices inside the room, and as the coast was clear he deliberately put his ear to the key-hole, which ear drank in the following conversation: "I say, Sir Robert, I'll shoot the villain. Do not hold me.
Be quick now; or stay, desire Lanigan to fetch it, and refreshment also; there's cold venison and roast beef, and a bottle of wine; tell Lanigan I'm going to lunch, and to lay the table in my study. Lanigan can be depended on," he added, after the chambermaid had gone, "for when I concealed another priest here once, he was entrusted with the secret, and was faithful."
The skilful Miss Mayberry had so managed the conversation in which she and the two gentlemen were engaged, that its subject matter became deeper and deeper in its character, until poor Lanigan found that it was getting very much too deep for him.
"Now, Bill the Bomber," demanded Lanigan, "tell me and the bunch what's the big idea of the arsenal, in a peaceful American city?" "Is it peaceful?" screamed the captive, at bay. "There are soldiers marching with guns. There are men threatening and cursing! There are " "Hold right on right where you are! Are you naturalized?" "No!"

There is not a moment to be lost; and, my dear Helen, show no marks of agitation; be calm and firm, or we are undone." "Rely on me, dear Reilly, rely on me; I shall, send Lanigan to you."
"I got a tip and routed out the Legion boys and chased 'em, but the dirty, Bullshevists beat us to it up the hill. But we've got 'em licked!" "Keep 'em licked for the rest of the night," Morrison suggested. "I'll be down-town with you, right away!" But Lanigan, in his raging excitement, was not amenable to hints or orders, nor was he cautious in his revelations.
Suppose you boys keep all quiet and calm for the good name of the city and let me find out how the thing stands?" He was assured of support and compliance by a chorus of voices. Lanigan trailed the chorus in solo. "Does that settle it? I'll say it does. It's up to you the whole thing. You've given us the word of a square man! We can depend on you.
In a few minutes he emerged upon an open space, through which flowed a little brook, and where sat Mrs. Cristie, Lodloe, Ida Mayberry with the baby in her lap, and Lanigan Beam. All of these persons, excepting the infant, were eating sandwiches.
Whitecraft, the self-constituted champion of Protestantism, had about as much religion as Satan himself or indeed less, for we are told that he believes and trembles, while Whitecraft, on the contrary, neither believed nor trembled. But if he did not fear God, he certainly feared man, and on the night in question went home with as craven a heart thanks to Lanigan as ever beat in a coward's bosom.
