A man had been killed by one of the group of toughs called locally the M'Mahon Gang, and against the charge of murder that of manslaughter had been set up in defence; and manslaughter might mean jail for a year or two or no jail at all.
In the mean time, Mrs. Cavanagh set forward a chair for Tom M'Mahon, and desired her daughter Hannah to place one for Bryan, which she did. The two girls were spinning, and it might have been observed that Kathleen appeared to apply herself to that becoming and feminine employment with double industry after the appearance of the M'Mahons.
Soon after the interview between the stranger and Dandy, and while the former had gone to get the letters from Father M'Mahon, this same sweetheart, by name Alley Mahon, came to have a word or two with Paudeen Gair, or Pat Sharpe.
"You know," replied the priest, "that you cannot be taken by surprise; because I myself told you the substance of the strong suspicions that are against you." Bryan M'Mahon now entered, and was cordially greeted by Vanston and we may add rather kindly, in manner at least, by Chevydale.
"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."
Kathleen, from a principle of generosity, patronized her young friend, Dora M'Mahon; and Shibby M'Mahon, on the other hand, took Hanna Cavanagh under her protection.
About three years previous to the period of our narrative, Toal M'Mahon, Bryan's uncle, died of an inflammatory attack, leaving to his eldest nephew and favorite the stock farm of Ahadarra.
I should feel much disappointed if you had, but you know, Bryan," he added, good-humoredly, "we could scarcely expect that you should admit such a piece of folly, not to call it by a harsher name." "If I had embarked in it," replied M'Mahon, "I sartinly would not deny it to you or Mr.
"We know you do," said Bat, with a vindictive but approving sneer. "I assure you," continued Hycy, "I wish the young man well." "Durin' der lives," repeated Phats, who had evidently been pondering over Hycy's promised gift to the Hogans; "throth," he observed with a grin, "dere may be something under dat too. Ay! an' she wishes Bryan M'Mahon well," he exclaimed, raising his red eyebrows.
My father thinks I can turn you round my finger, and Bryan M'Mahon thinks yes, I'm goin'," she answered again. "Well, keep up your spirits; I'll soon have news for you about this spoiled priest." "Poor Hanna," thought Kathleen; "where was there ever such a sister? She does all she can to keep my spirits up; but it can't be.
