"She's in the other room, I think; mother, you'll be wantin' to go to bed." And Peter got on his feet and stumbled against the wall, and his mother had to help him towards the door. "Is it drunk I am, mother? Will you open the door for me?" But Mrs. M'Shane could not open the door, and she said: "I think she's put a bit of stick in it." "A bit of stick in the door?
It was after the horses went back that Sir Henry is said to have destroyed himself. I went up to the castle, but M'Dermott had given orders for no one to be let in on any account. Yours Kathleen M'Shane. "This is news indeed," said I, handing the letter to Timothy. "It must have been my threatening letter which has driven him to this mad act."
M'Shane, who had known her for twenty years, often wondered what Annie would have been like if she had not got a kind husband, and if good luck had not attended her all through life. "We never had anyone like her before in the parish.
You will make a good husband, and though you were drunk last night, you have taken the pledge to-day, and I will make a good marriage for Kate, too, if she'll listen to me." "And who may your reverence be thinking of?" "I'm thinking of Peter M'Shane. He gets as much as six shillings a week and his keep on Murphy's farm, and his mother has got a bit of money, and they have a nice, clean cabin.
His conduct at the wedding would have to be inquired into, and the marriage that was being arranged would have to be broken off if Kate's flight could be attributed to him. "Now, Pat Connex, we will go to Mrs. M'Shane. I shall want to hear her story." "Sure what story can she tell of me? Didn't I run out of the house away from Kate when I saw what she was thinking of? What more could I do?"
Prosperity in the shapes of pig styes and stables had collected round Annie's door, and Mrs. M'Shane was proud to be a visitor in such a house. "I came round, Annie, to tell you they're married." "Well, come in, Mary," she said, "if you have the time."
"Sure enough I was satisfied before I came in, that Kathleen would not have any one in her bedroom," replied Corny. "Then good-night, Corny, and it's to-morrow that I'll talk with ye," replied Kathleen. Mrs M'Shane then walked out of the room, expecting Corny to follow; but he could not restrain himself, and he came to the bedside.
"By the powers! it's just my opinion, Mrs M'Shane," replied the elder O'Toole, "that he's not quite so far off; so with your lave, or by your lave, or without your lave, we'll just have a look over the premises." "O! and welcome, Mister Jerry O'Toole; if you think I'm the woman to hide a proctor, look everywhere just as you please."
He was going to be married and he did not know to whom. Suddenly he remembered he had a message to deliver, and he went down to the M'Shanes' cabin. "Ah, Mrs. M'Shane," he said, "it was a bad day for me when she married Peter. But this is a worse one, for we've both lost her." "My poor boy will feel it sorely."
"It appears," said the priest, "that your mother went out with a jug of porter under her apron, and offered a sup of it to Pat Connex, who was talking with Peter M'Shane, and now he is up at your cabin every Saturday." "That's it," said Ned. "Mrs. Connex was here the other day, and I can tell you that if Pat marries your sister he will find himself cut off with a shilling."
