"Nothing; unless the murdered man chances to have relatives or clansmen in one of the near-by camps in which case there'll be another killing." "But the law," said Kenneth. "There is no law here higher than the caprice of Brian MacMorrogh. Besides, it's too common a mere episode; one of those which you said you couldn't believe, a little while back."
Hector heard the touch, and so did Ford; but it was the engineman who made a grim jest upon it, saying: "If she does that more'n once or twice, there'll be a job for the car painters, don't you reckon, Mr. Ford? And for the carpenters." Just below the doubling bend in the great loop they came in sight of the first of the MacMorrogh camps.
Many of this race lie buried in the ruins of St. Mullen's Abbey, on the Barrow, in this county. But none of them, I opine, ever did such credit to the name as its present representative, Arthur MacMorrogh Kavanagh. I had some correspondence with Mr.
On his return from the Green Butte end of the proposed line, the little man with the diabolical fashion of beard trimming had spent a week in and around Copah, picking up yard rights-of-way, surveying approaches, and setting grade stakes for the outlying MacMorrogh gangs.

Walking up one of the passages his progress was stopped by the back of an individual bowing with great civility to a patronising peer, and my-lording him with painful repetition. The nobleman was Lord Fitz-pompey; the bowing gentleman, Mr. Duncan Macmorrogh, the anti-aristocrat, and father of the first man of the day.

'Not heard his name? Not heard of young Duncan Macmorrogh, the first man of the day, by far; not heard of him? Go and ask the Marquess of Sheepshead what he thinks of him.
Eckstein spat out the extinct cigar stump he was chewing. "We are to know beyond a question of doubt, this time. Who is in the Nadia, besides Ford?" "The two naygurs." "No one else?"
