But he raised his voice, hailing loudly; reckless of everything but that he should find the old mischief-maker with the eyes that looked too far away to see the disaster he had wrought. The door opened, and in the stream of light Father Rogan stood, his book in hand, with his finger marking the place. "Ah!" cried Lorison. "You are the man I want. I had a wife of you a few hours ago.
The same night his employer's safe was robbed. A search was had; the winnings of Lorison were found in his room, their total forming an accusative nearness to the sum purloined. He was taken, tried and, through incomplete evidence, released, smutched with the sinister devoirs of a disagreeing jury.
Am I to be sint about, at me age, as was Terence McShane, of Ballymahone? I come on me own r-r-responsibility." Lorison had also advanced to the boy's bedside. He was fond of children; and the wee fellow, laying himself down to sleep alone in that dark room, stirred-his heart. "Aren't you afraid, little man?" he asked, stooping down beside him.
Afterward the priest spake briefly, as if by rote, of certain other civil and legal addenda that either might or should, at a later time, cap the ceremony. Lorison tendered a fee, which was declined, and before the door closed after the departing couple Father Rogan's book popped open again where his finger marked it. In the dark hall Norah whirled and clung to her companion, tearful.
Never more than now, when, perhaps, she is laughing at the fool she cajoled and left, with scarcely a word, to return to God only knows what particular line of her former folly." Father Rogan answered nothing. During the silence that succeeded, he sat with a quiet expectation beaming in his full, lambent eye. "If you would listen " began Lorison. The priest held up his hand.
White satin and silk and ribbons, and lace about the neck and arrums 'twas a sin, yer reverence, the gold was spint upon it." The priest heard Lorison catch his breath painfully, and a faint smile flickered across his own clean-cut mouth. "Well, then, Mistress Geehan," said he, "I'll just step upstairs and see the bit boy for a minute, and I'll take this gentleman up with me."
"I must apologize again," said the young man, "for so soon intruding upon you with my marital infelicities, but, as my wife has neglected to furnish me with her address, I am deprived of the legitimate recourse of a family row." "I am quite a plain man," said Father Rogan, pleasantly; "but I do not see how I am to ask you questions." "Pardon my indirectness," said Lorison; "I will ask one.
Should you light a cigarette, mine host will touch you on the "arrum" and remind you that the proprieties are menaced. "Antonio" entices and beguiles from fiery legend without, but "O'Riley" teaches decorum within. It was at this restaurant that Lorison first saw the girl.
Of one of two things was this exceeding frankness the outcome: either of importunate brazenness or of utter innocence. The lover's perspective contained only the one. "The sooner," said Lorison, "the happier I shall be." "What is there to do?" she asked. "What do you have to get? Come! You should know." Her energy stirred the dreamer to action.
I would not trouble you, but I neglected to note how it was done. Will you oblige me with the information whether the business is beyond remedy?" "Come inside," said the priest; "there are other lodgers in the house, who might prefer sleep to even a gratified curiosity." Lorison entered the room and took the chair offered him. The priest's eyes looked a courteous interrogation.
