And so, I think, are most of the others. One more example to illustrate the quality of Leamy's style say, the description of the contest of the bards before the High King at the Feis of Tara in the story called "The Huntsman's Son."
Glory be, I have ut still! though for how long or me own head, for that matter in this state of besiegement, I can not say." "Now," said Hewitt, "I want a full, true, and particular account of yourself and your doings for the last week. First, your name?" "Leamy's my name, sor Michael Leamy." "Lately from Ireland?"
It would introduce a characteristic specimen of Leamy's work to a race of readers who have appeared since it was written and who ought to be in a mood more appreciative of such literature than the mood which prevailed in that day. For the book has long been out of print.
I have said enough, too, to indicate the type of Celtic temperament to which Leamy's belonged. His habitual mood was the exquisitely sensitive, the tender, playful, reverent mood.
Leamy's gentle and loyal soul could have taken no influence from the asperity of some of the intervening ferment, "Parliamentarian" though he was. Had the impulse to write this volume come to him in this later period he would only have drawn from the time the nourishment which the atmosphere of sympathy always brings to the artist.
Leamy's recognition of Wilks' portrait made me feel pretty certain. Plainly, he had carried stolen property; the poor, innocent fellow's conversation with Hollams showed that, as, in fact, did the sum, five pounds, paid to him by way of 'regulars, or customary toll, from the plunder of services of carriage.
"Leamy's tale sounded unlikely, of course," Hewitt said, "but it was noticeable that every one of his misfortunes pointed in the same direction that certain persons were tremendously anxious to get at something they supposed he had. When he spoke of his adventure with the bag, I at once remembered Wilks' arrest and subsequent release.
