Now the grief was intensely bitter in consequence of his expected departure without the priest. His sons and daughters felt it as forcibly as his wife; their lamentations were full of the strongest and sharpest agony. For nearly three hours did they remain in this situation; poor Lanigan sinking by degrees into that collapsed state from which there is no possibility of rallying.
Ida Mayberry and Lanigan were still sitting together under a tree, and she saw Mr. Tippengray talking to Mrs. Petter not far from the summer-house. Nothing could be better arranged. Lanigan was on the right road, and it would be quite as natural for her immediately to join Mrs. Petter as it would be easy to get rid of her.
He therefore hastily gave her the necessary instructions how to act, and, above all things, to ask to see Lanigan, and, if possible, to bring some eggs or chickens for sale, which fact, he said, would give a color to her appearance there, and prevent the possibility of any suspicion.

Oh!! that, for Reilly's sake, I could become acquainted with them!"
Lanigan's yelp broke in like an explosion. "Hold this Bullshevist, Peter! I want both hands free!" "I wasn't saying anything against our government, Commander Lanigan! Not a word!" wailed the overseas man. "So help me!" "I'm in a soothing frame of mind this night," returned the ex-sergeant.

Lanigan had just laid down a general rule of diplomatic conduct for the evening, but he made a prompt exception. He leaped on the man, struggled with him for a moment, and yanked off a red necktie, taking with it the man's collar and a part of his shirt, "But some stuff that they're full of can't be smoothed out it's got to be whaled out!" panted Lanigan. He did not release his captive.
"That would aid your philanthropic plan in regard to Miss Rose and Mr. Tippengray. The maid away, there is no reason why they should not come together again." "Now I am a straightforward, honest man," said Lanigan, "and I tell you plainly that that would be very hard on me.
'Why, your honor, said he, 'this is a poor, honest creature that has been selling us eggs and chickens for many years. 'She wouldn't be a go-between, Lanigan eh? 'Here, Lanigan, bring her down to the kitchen, and give her a fog meal. 'I understand you, sir, said Lanigan, smiling at him. 'Yes, Lanigan, give her a cargo of the best in the pantry.
"I shall do nothing of the kind," she answered shortly, "and I oughtn't to be out here in the night air either." Lanigan gazed at Mrs. Cristie and her companion. If that charming young widow wanted some one to walk about with her in the moonlight, she could surely do better than that. Perhaps a diversion might be effected and partners changed. "Mrs.
Muckle powwow wi'out," reported the old man, tersely. "Then you got a look outside?" "Aye! When I took the message frae the telegraph laddie at the door." "Was Joe Lanigan in sight?" "Aye!"
