We, Cahoon, the Dean, even Malcolmson, though he was a bristly fighting man, certainly Moyne who had gone quietly to bed we were tame barndoor fowls, eating the sordid messes spread for us by that old henwife, civilized society. Conroy was a free bird of the wild. He snatched golden grain for nutriment from the hand of a goddess.
Do not be alarmed if Benchurch gets a surprise before morning. 'Oh, Doctor, what do you mean? What do you mean? 'I mean this; that possibly nay, more probably we shall hear the great alarm bell from the Judge's House tonight, and the Doctor made about as effective an exit as could be thought of. When Malcolmson arrived home he found that it was a little after his usual time, and Mrs.
I went down to the club at twelve o'clock, intending to smoke a cigar and look at the picture papers before luncheon. I found Malcolmson in the outer hall. His head was bent over the machine which reels off strips of paper with the latest news printed on them.
She besought Moyne to use all his influence to moderate the anti-Home Rule enthusiasm of Malcolmson and the Dean. Moyne smiled in a sickly way when we came to this advice. The other long telegram was from Babberly. I must say that Babberly at this crisis displayed immense energy and something like political genius.
"Now, as to the terms which you are prepared to offer the Government," I said. "We will not have Home Rule," said the Dean and Malcolmson together. "Of course not," I said. "That will be understood at once. Shall I demand Mr. Redmond's head on a charger? I don't suppose you want it, but it's always well to ask for more than you mean to take. It gives the other side a chance of negotiating."
"I reckon," said Conroy, "that we mean to use our guns now we've got them." Babberly made a curious gesture with his hands. He flung them out from him with the palms upwards and then sat down. McNeice rose next. "For the last two years," he said, "we've been boasting that we meant to resist Home Rule with force if necessary. That's so, isn't it?" Malcolmson growled an assent.
For some days I was hardly aware she was in the house, the illness of her patient keeping her in constant seclusion, but when Mrs. Malcolmson grew better, I not infrequently saw her, taking a morning "constitutional" in the beautiful castle grounds. It was on one of these occasions that she favoured me with an account of her psychical adventure.
I also wanted to find out what he thought about Irish affairs. I had heard a good deal more talk about the Ulster situation. Malcolmson got at me nearly every day, and several other men, much more level-headed than Malcolmson, seemed to regard the situation as serious. I heard it hinted that the Army would not relish the idea of shooting the Ulstermen. I understood the feeling.
He also said that he thoroughly understood modern guns, and was prepared to take command of any artillery which Ulster might happen to possess. I lay back in my chair and tried to form a mental picture of Malcolmson, who is stout and has a bristly white moustache, aiming an immense cannon at an income tax collector.
"Does not your brother play with you sometimes?" asked Bessie. "Richard? Oh, no?" And Edna's lip curled a little disdainfully. "He is far too busy to waste his time on me he prefers playing cricket with the village lads at Melton. Bye the bye, mamma, I left Richard at the station; he said he had business with Malcolmson, and would not be home much before dinner."
