After Carson's departure, the Colonel's friends, having been first asked to dine with him at the inn, also took their leave, and none remained but M'Evoy, who waited with pleasing anxiety to hear what the Colonel proposed to say for he felt certain that it would be agreeable.
Allowing that he could not pay his rent, was that any reason you should do so barbarous an act as to drag a woman from her sick bed, and she at the point of death? But we know your reasons for it." "Gentlemen," said the Colonel, "pray what character do M'Evoy and Smith here bear in the country?"
In one form of the "electric log," the current is generated by the chemical action of zinc and copper plates attached to the log, and immersed in the sea water, and in others provided by a battery on the ship. Captain M'Evoy has invented an alarm for torpedoes and torpedo boats, which is a veritable watchdog of the sea.
"Is this," he inquired, "the house in which Dominick M'Evoy lives?" "That's my name, sir," replied Dominick. "The family, I trust, are all well? I have been desired but no no I cannot I cannot father! mother! "It's him!" shrieked the mother "Its himself! Jemmy" "Jemmy! Jemmy!" shouted the lather, with a cry of joy which might be heard far beyond the house. "Jemmy! our poor Jemmy!
"That is by no means the heaviest charge I have to bring against you," replied the Colonel. "There is no lack of them; nor shall you be able to complain that they are not recent, as well as of longer standing. Your conduct in the case of poor honest M'Evoy here is black and iniquitous. He must be restored to his farm, but by other hands than yours, and that ruffian instantly expelled from it.
But how is it possible to detail what M'Evoy suffered during this fortnight of intense agony?
"We have known them both for years to be honest, conscientious men," said those whom he addressed: "such is their character, and in our opinion they well deserve it." "God bless you, gintlemen!" said M'Evoy "God bless your honors, for your kind Words! I'm sure for my own part, I hope though but a poor man now, God help me!" "Pray, who occupies the farm at present, Mr. Carson?"
The parish priest, though an ignorant, insipid old man, was the master's patron, and his slightest wish a divine law to him. The little despot, forgetting his prey, instantly repaired to the Cross-Keys, and in his absence, Thady, together with the larger boys of the school, made M'Evoy acquainted with the fraud about to be practised on him.
Carson," said the Colonel, "can you disprove these facts? Can you show that you did not expel M'Evoy from his farm, and put the husband of your illegitimate daughter into it? That you did not receive his rent, decline giving him a receipt, and afterwards compel him to pay twice, because he could not produce the receipt which you withheld?"
What's your pathronymic? quo nomine gowdes, Domine doctissime?" The lad was silent; but the farmer's wife turned up the whites of her eyes with an expression of wonder and surprise at the erudition of the "masther." "I persave you are as yet uninitiated into the elementary principia of the languages; well the honor is still before you. What's your name?" "James M'Evoy, sir."
