He saw it in the early dawn, whiter than the mist which broke against it, a great angel whose beautiful feet the longing earth had imprisoned! red with the flush of morning, rosy with the tints of sunrise, as if heaven were smiling upon it from open gates! clear, majestic, commanding in the broad day, like a leader of the people, drawing all eyes to itself, provoking the question, the denial, the prayer from every passer, as tributes to its power! in the sunset, as dying Ledwith had seen it, flushed with the fever of life, but paling like the day, tender, beseeching, appealing to the flying crowd for a last turning to God before the day be done forever! in the twilight, calm, restful, submissive to the darkness, which had no power over it, because of the Presence within! terrible when night falls and sin goes forth in purple and fine linen, a giant which had heaved the earth and raised itself from the dead stone to rebuke and threaten the erring children of God!
That baby couldn't have died and she adopted another one." "How do we know that she did not?" said Miss Crawford, protestingly. "She was anxious that the girl in some manner might find her father's people. You see, she was sure the mother was dead. Oh, there is enough to convince you all. Dr. Kendricks and Mr. Ledwith have no doubt of the truth of her story. There is no scheme in it.
Won't you just come and introduce me to the others, and then come back to mother?" The others were in the family-room, which was also dining-room. In the kitchen beyond, Mrs. Jeffords' stove was roaring up for an early tea, and she was whipping griddle-cakes together. "My brother, Mr. Kirkbright Miss Argenter. Miss Desire Ledwith Sylvie."
What honor gilded these dead heroes! The procession moved along the road splendidly, the soldiers in front and the cart in the rear, while a detail still farther off carried the wounded and dead. Captain Sydenham devoted himself to Honora, which gave Grahame the chance to talk matters over with Ledwith on the other side of the car.
"I hope they are not many," said the Captain politely, "but in my profession I have met them. Here was a case where the best of men was the victim of an Agrippina." "Poor, dear lad," sighed she, "and of course he fled from her in horror." "He was a wonder, Miss Ledwith. Think what he did. Such a man is more than a match for such a woman.
For such a sufferer the heart of Arthur Dillon opened as wide as the gates of heaven. Oh, had he not known what it is to suffer so, without consolation! He was like a son to Owen Ledwith.
If they discover you and me, death or Botany Bay will be our destination." "It is simply a case of luck," Ledwith replied. "Scheming won't save us. If Lord Constantine were in London now " "Great God!" cried Grahame in a whisper, "there's the luck. Say no more. I'll work that fine name as it was never worked before."
And the English friends who are to take up my duties where I desert them?" "You must know some of them," and Arthur grinned again, so that the Minister slightly winced. "Captain Sydenham, commanding in Donegal " "I met him in New York one winter younger brother to Lord Groton." "The Dowager Countess of Skibbereen." "Very fine woman. Ledwith is in luck." "And Lord Constantine of Essex."
My child is tenderer and more generous than I." "The poor woman has come to the last stages. It is a matter of only a few days. It would be cruel to part them now." "You are all against me," with a sad smile. "You must go home and explain this matter to Mrs. Crawford, and to your sister. Then send the confession to Ledwith. I will see him. And, oh, I promised to drop in and see Zay.
"If it comes to a trial," said Arthur, "won't Ledwith get the same chance as any other lawbreaker?" Honora and Grahame looked at each other as much as to say: "Poor innocent!" "When there's a rising on, my dear boy, there is no trial for Irishmen. Arrest means condemnation, and all that follows is only form. Go ahead now and do your best." Before lunch the telegrams had done their best and worst.
