Desire Ledwith went over to Leicester Place with Bel Bree, when she returned there for the first needful sorting and packing and removing. Bel could not go alone, to risk any meeting; to put herself, voluntarily and unprotected in the way again. Miss Ledwith took a carriage and called for her. In that manner they could bring away nearly all. What remained could be sent for.
"The others got scot free, no thanks to old Folsom," said the Captain, "and one went off to their yacht and the other intended to start for Dublin to interest the secretary. The Countess should interest herself in her. Egad, don't you know, it's worth the trouble to take an interest in such a girl as Honora Ledwith." "Honora Ledwith," said the Dowager at a little distance.
If it were not for that, you would be dead; you could not feel at all." Was this the Desire Ledwith of the old time, with deep thoughts but half understood, and shrinking always from any recognizing word?
But when you have got it, it may not be the thing you thought it would be. Whosoever will have his life shall lose it. No; Desire Ledwith had rather turned away from all special hope, thinking it was over for her. But she came to believe that all the good in God's long years was not over; that she had not been hindered from one thing, save to be kept for some other that He saw better.
Miss Ledwith told them that there was so much to say, so much she wanted a word from them about, that they would give up the books for one evening. They would think about home, instead of far-off places; about themselves, each other, and things that were laid out for them to do, instead of people who had taken their turn at the world's work hundreds of years ago.
It seemed a phantom ship, blown from ghostly shores by the strength of hatred against the enemy, and love for the land of Eire; for no hope shone in their eyes, or in the eyes of Ledwith and his daughter, only triumph at their own light success. What a pity, thought Dillon, that at this hour of time men should have reason to look so at the power of England.
"I don't know how to explain it to strangers we all know it here, doncheknow but in these cases the different governments always have some kind of an understanding. Ledwith is an American citizen, for example; he is arrested as an insurgent, no one is interested in him, the government is in a hurry, a few witnesses heard him talk against the government, and off he goes to jail.
Grahame bent forward, startled that he should know either unfortunate. "It is young Devin, the poet," cried Ledwith with a burst of tears. Honora moaned, and Grahame threw up his hands in despair. "We must give the best to our mother," said Ledwith, "but I would prefer blood so rich to be scattered over a larger soil."
He hardened his heart against the dying woman, and walked quietly out of the room. "The story must be true," he admitted to Mrs. Barrington. "But I cannot tell what step to take first. Would you mind if I saw Mr. Ledwith? He has been the Crawford lawyer and was the brother's executor. I am quite mystified and perhaps not capable of judging." "Why, I think that would be an excellent plan. Yes.
Political and military movements have done much for Ireland in fifty years; but the only real triumphs, universal, brilliant, enduring, significant, leading surely up to greater things, have been won by the Irish faith, of which that cathedral, shining so gloriously in the sun this afternoon, is both a result and a symbol." "I believe you will die with that conviction," Ledwith said in wonder.
