"You must go back," the major said, "with another; take Larkin with you. You must strip off the uniforms and bring them here." Half an hour later Major Warrener summoned the captains of his two troops, and took them into council. "Nothing could be more fortunate than this capture," he said; "it seems to clear the way for us altogether.
And he responded with emotion, so that the hour passed swiftly, and he found himself back in camp, in a kind of dream, unable to remember much of what she had said, sure only of this strange sweetness suddenly come to her. Upon the following night, however, he discovered what had wrought this singular change in Fay Larkin. She loved him and she did not know it.
I did not half like the equivocal office which my friend Mark had prepared for me. If family squabbles were to arise, I had no fancy to mix in them; and I did not want a collision with Mr. Larkin either; and, on the whole, notwithstanding his modesty, I thought Wylder very well able to take care of himself. There was time enough, however, to settle the point.
The execution of Allen, Larkin and O'Brien, so far from striking terror, but gave new life to the cause of Irish Freedom, and to-day, over the world, no names in the long roll of those who have suffered and died for Ireland are more honoured than those of the "Manchester Martyrs," while the determination has become all the stronger that, in the words of our National Anthem founded on Condon's defiant shout in the dock of "God Save Ireland!":
And the Father of the Fatherless, even on the instant, raised up a friend for them sent an angel missioner of blessed comfort to give poor Larkin, even on the brink of the grave, assurance that no pang of poverty should ever wound those little ones thus awfully bereaved. One day the confessor met the prisoners with beaming face, holding in his hand a letter.
'Mark Wylder! Larkin sprung back a pace or two, turning his face full upon the challenger, who in his turn was perhaps affrighted, for the same voice uttered a sort of strangled shriek, and he heard the branches crack and rustle as he pushed his sudden retreat through them leaving the attorney more horrified than ever.
You will trespass here if you are determined. But I warn you that if you bring those dogs ashore you will be prosecuted." "I'm a-goin' to search this islan'," growled Sheriff Larkin, uglily. "You may. You have no warrant to do so, but you may. But you must not bring ashore those dogs. And," added the professor, turning and bowing with old-fashioned courtesy to Mrs.
And she picked up her trowel and other implements, and placed them in the porch, and glanced up towards the clouds, as if she saw them, and had nothing to think of but her gardening and the weather, and as if her heart was not breaking. William Wylder's reversion was very tempting. But Lawyer Larkin knew the value of the precious metals, and waited for more data.
She saw by this time that she had made a great mistake, and that her course was likely to make her generally unpopular. She hoped to make it up with the Larkins. "I am so glad you are acquitted, Luke," she began effusively. "I hope, Mrs. Larkin, you won't take offense at what I did. I did what I thought to be my duty, though with a bleeding heart.
Language literally fails to convey an idea of the horror the stupefaction that ensued when that news was read: "This morning, at eight o'clock, the three condemned Fenians, Allen, Larkin, and O'Brien, were executed in front of Sulford Gaol." Men gasped in awe-struck horror speech seemed denied them. Could it be a dream, or was this a reality?
