Fitzmaurice started for Connaught to encourage the insurrection which had been fast ripening there under the brutal rule of Sir Nicolas Malby, its governor.
She had set her heart on it and on Chester, and it would be best for her yes, it would be best for her. When Chester was saying good-night to Lucy that evening, the father came out into the hall to them. "Chester," said he, "tell Elder Malby I should like to see him to morrow. He is the one that attends to baptism into the Mormon Church, isn't he?" "Yes," replied Chester. "I shall tell him."
I resolved, therefore, to quit the house, mentioned it to her, and she, far from opposing my resolution, approved it. She had an acquaintance at Grenoble, called Madam de Deybens, whose husband was on terms of friendship with Monsieur Malby, chief Provost of Lyons.
I made some stay at Lyons to visit my acquaintance, procure letters of recommendation to Paris, and to sell my books of geometry which I had brought with me. I was well received by all whom I knew. M. and Madam de Malby seemed pleased to see me again, and several times invited me to dinner.
The chief command in Munster now devolved upon Sir Nicholas Malby, an officer who had seen much foreign service, while the temporary vacancy in the government was filled by the Council at Dublin, whose choice fell on Sir William Pelham, another distinguished military man, lately arrived from England.
The vigorous Malby assumed control of the Presidency, marched through Desmond's country dealing miscellaneous slaughter and destruction, burnt the town at Ashketyn since the castle could not be carried without cannon, and then went his way into Connaught.
"But these men who are holding these services are 'Mormons, and I come to warn you that they are wolves in sheep's clothing. Beware of them, let them alone," said the priest in rising accents. The people stood about the room, quietly listening. Elder Malby and Chester were yet by the table which had served as a pulpit, and to them the priest advanced. "Are you the 'Mormon' elders?" he demanded.
Sidney insisted on reconstituting the Presidencies of Connaught and Munster, Malby taking charge of the former and Drury of the latter. Naturally enough, and with plenty of excuse, they set about hangings on an extensive scale, and where they met with resistance gave no quarter. English methods, as usual in Ireland, promptly degenerated into massacre and devastation.
Had it not been a dream, and was he not now awake to the reality of his old life? He found himself once more attracted to the Mission headquarters. Elder Malby was at home that morning. Chester told him the latest development. "Has she have they deserted me, do you think?" asked Chester. "No I don't think so," replied the elder thoughtfully. "Lucy did not impress me as a girl who would do that.
He, no doubt, thought she was well out of harm's way in such company, for he did not know Elder Malby. When he caught sight of Chester he went up to him, took him by the arm and fell into his stride. Their conversation began with the common ship-board topics. Then the minister asked his companion more about himself and his life.
