As the boy Charles was on his way to M'Mahon's and this he mentioned to the family afterwards he was met, he said, by a gentleman dressed in rusty black, mounted upon a strong, coarse horse; and who, after looking at him with a good deal of surprise, said "What is your name, my fine fellow?" and on hearing it he asked him where he was going.
On the day in question, our friend O'Finigan, whose habits of intemperance had by no means diminished, called at Cavanagh's, as he had been in the habit of doing. Poor Kathleen was now suffering, besides, under the consequences of the injunction not to mention M'Mahon's name, which she had imposed upon her own family an injunction which they had ever since faithfully observed.
Here, James, bring in some brandy." M'Mahon's protest against the brandy was anything but invincible. Fethertonge's manner was so kind, so familiar, and his interest in the success of himself and his family so unaffectedly warm and sincere, that, after drinking his health, he took his leave with a light and. happy heart.
"Hycy Burke, who is proverbially extravagant, having at last, in an indirect way, ruined young M'Mahon, from the double motive of ill-will and a wish to raise money by running illicit spirits " "By the way," observed the other, rather maliciously, "he made a complete tool of you in M'Mahon's affair."
'Well, M'Mahon, says he for he was always as keen as a briar, an' knew me at once 'what do you want? an' what has brought you from the country? I then spoke to him about the new lease; an' he said to Fethertonge, 'prepare M'Mahon's lease, Fothertonge; you shall have a new lease, M'Mahon. You are an honest man, and your family have been so for many a long year upon our property.
You needn't stare I am serious enough and honorable enough to keep as an inviolable secret everything of the kind that a man may happen to disclose in an unguarded moment." "Go on, Hycy, I don't forget it I don't, upon my soul." "I allude to M'Mahon's farm in Ahadarra." "I don't forget it; but you know, Hycy, my boy, I didn't mention either M'Mahon or Ahadarra."
Tom M'Mahon's simple word was never doubted, and would pass aquil to many a man's oath; and it is the same thing wid the whole family, man and women. They are proverbial, sir, for truth and integrity, and a most spontaneous effusion of candor under all circumstances. You will pardon me then, Mr. Hycy, if I avow a trifle of heresy in this matter.
The seizure of the distillery apparatus on M'Mahon's farm of Ahadarra, was in a few days followed by knowledge of the ruin in which it must necessarily involve that excellent and industrious young man.
"By the way," said Hycy, "let me not forget that I have been looking for you this hour or two; here is a letter I got for you in! the post-office this morning. It has Vanston's frank, and I think is in his handwriting." M'Mahon's face, on perusing the letter, beamed with animation and delight.
Hanna observed, or rather we should say, felt, that as Finigan proceeded with his reminiscences of M'Mahon's school-boy days and the enumeration of his virtues, her sister's heart and bosom quivered with deep and almost irrepressible emotion.
