Macdermot thus regarded his creditor as a vulgar, low-born blood-sucker, who, having by chicanery obtained an unwarrantable hold over him, was determined, if possible, to crush him.
Though these things passed through Thady's mind very quickly, still he paused some time, leaning against the corner of an outhouse, till Ussher said, "Well, Macdermot, surely you 'll not refuse to answer me such a question as that. Though God knows why we mayn't be friends, you would not wish to have such ill as that happen to me."
At the time that the priest and young Macdermot were talking over Feemy's affairs at the cottage, she and her lover were together at Ballycloran. Nothing that her brother or Father John had said about her, either for her or against, would give a fair idea of her character.
Mulready's certain men swore together that at a certain period Captain Ussher should be under the sod. This phrase brings to the mind of every one the conviction that they meant to express murder. The man could not be under the sod unless he were dead. "But at the wedding, when young Macdermot was present, even by the showing of Brady himself, the men were afraid to use any such phrase.
When Keegan heard old Macdermot break out in this way, he was obliged to turn round: so he walked up to the fire, and said, "Mr. Macdermot, may I ask who you are speaking of?" Larry was again commencing, when Thady held him down gently, and said, "It's not so asy, Mr.
I have told you that young Macdermot did kill the deceased. He struck him with the stick which has been shown to you in court, and as he was rising from the blow he struck him again; and no doubt the medical witness was right in his opinion that the second blow occasioned instant death.
This, together with his hatred of the man, and his customary inability to do or say anything, made him so perplexed that he could not comprehend Mr. Keegan's first words, which were not only conciliatory and civil, but almost affectionate. "Ah! Mr. Macdermot, how do you do how d'ye do? I'm glad to see you very glad to see you looking so well too.
McKeon's, who had fetched her to her own house from Ballycloran on the morning of the trial. When Larry Macdermot saw the car at the door, in which Feemy was to go away, he was dreadfully wrath. He first of all declared that his daughter should not be taken away to Mr. Keegan's that his own son had deserted him and tried to sell the estate, and that now they meant to rob him of his daughter!
I'll have 'em before I've done. But don't you know that Macdermot, Reynolds, and the other fellow agreed to put an end to Ussher? Why you told me so twenty times." "I b'lieve they did; but faix, I ain't shure I heard it all rightly myself, yer honour; I warn't exactly one of the party."
"Heaven's blessing on you, Feemy, my daughter; may you live many happy years with the man you love." Feemy soon left him, and went to bed, and Katty, who had been dispatched to Drumsna, returned with her mistress's small box, and a kind message from Mrs. McKeon: "Her kind love to Miss Macdermot; she hoped she had felt the walk of service to her, and she would call some time during the next week."
