M'Mahon's way home lay by Gerald Cavanagh's house, near which as he approached he saw Nanny Peety in close conversation with Kate Hogan. The circumstance, knowing their relationship as he did, made no impression whatsoever upon him, nor would he have bestowed a thought upon it, had he been left to his own will in the matter.
Such scenes are repulsive to the educated priest, and to all who, from superior minds and information, are perfectly aware that no earthly or other good, but, on the contrary, much bitterness, strife, and evil, ever result from them. Gerald Cavanagh was by no means so deeply affected by M'Mahon's vote as were his two daughters.
What wondher then that I should shed tears, and feel as I do?" The unconscious simplicity of this reply to such a singular argument for consolation as the schoolmaster had advanced, caused many to smile, some to laugh outright, and others to sympathize still more deeply with M'Mahon's sorrow.
Well, then, Mr. Burke, I shall not deal out my confidence by beggarly instalments I did hear Bryan M'Mahon's name mentioned; and I heard a plan alluded to between you and them for reducing him to " "That was all humbug, Finigan, so far as I am concerned; but for the present I am obliged to let them suppose what you allude to, in order to keep them honest to myself if I can.
M'Mahon's last interview with Fethertonge was of so cheering a nature, and indicated on the part of that gentleman so much true and sterling kindness towards the young man and his family, that he felt perfectly satisfied on leaving him, and after having turned their conversation over in his mind, that he might place every confidence in the assurance he had given him.
"Speak for yourself, in the singular number, if you plaise; you don't imagine that I wanted compensation." "No, sir, certainly not; but I'm just thinking," he added, after curiously examining Father M'Mahon's face for some time, "that you and I met before somewhere."
Good-bye, sir," he added, taking up his hat, whilst the features of this sterling and honest man were overcast with a solemn and pathetic spirit, "don't consider me any longer your tenant. For many a long year has our names been but no matther the time is come at last, and the M'Mahon's of Carriglass and Ahadarra will be known there no more.
He instantly took his seat for Dublin an inside seat in order to conceal himself as much as possible from observation. Having arranged this affair, he rode home in high spirits, and made preparations for starting, in due time, by "the Flash of Lightning." The stranger, on his way to Father M'Mahon's, called upon his friend Birney, with whom he had a long confidential conversation.
Though coarse-minded upon most many matters, she was yet capable of making the humane distinction which her brutal relatives could not understand or feel; we mean the fact that, in having lent themselves to the base conspiracy planned and concocted by Hycy Burke, and in having been undoubtedly the cause of M'Mahon's disgrace, as well as of his projected marriage with Kathleen having been broken up, they did not perceive that she was equally a sufferer; or, if they did, they were either too cunning or too hardened to acknowledge it.
"Very well you're then to proceed to Tom M'Mahon's, and if you find Bryan, his son, there, give him this; and if he's at the mountain farm of Ahadarra, go to him. I don't expect an answer from Kathleen Cavanagh, but I do from Bryan M'Mahon; and mark me, Peety." "I do, sir." "Are you sure you do?" "Sartin, sir."
