McEvoy had been a former engineer on the line. "Well, that won't burst with any frost, I guess." "Oh my! how pretty!" said the widow, and then Susan of course jumped up to look over her mother's shoulder.
'Sworn information, drawn up by that worthy man, Pat McEvoy, the greatest rascal in Europe, and I hope I don't hurt you by saying it, Mr. Kearney. Sworn information of a burglarious entry, and an aggravated assault on the premises and person of one Peter Gill, another local blessing bad luck to him.
Nothing could be more vivid than the early scenes, the collection made at the altar for Jimmy McEvoy, the priest's sermon, the boy's parting from home, and the roadside hospitality; there is one infinitely touching episode in the house of the first farmer who shelters him. Then come the school itself, and the tyranny of its master, till the boy falls sick of a fever, and is turned out of doors.
Shortly after this, on July 8, he married at Greenwich, Connecticut, Miss Elizabeth Genevieve McEvoy, known on the stage as Bessie McCoy, with whom he had first become acquainted in 1908 after the estrangement from his wife. Richard and his wife made their home at Crossroads, where he devoted most of his working hours to the writing of short stories.
Are ye there, Pat?" he cried, raising his voice. "I am, sir," returned some one from the region of the stables. "Is Barney there?" "He is." "Bring him along wid ye then; an' call Jack McEvoy and a couple more of the boys. Bring a pick wid ye, an' a couple of them hatchets an' Pat!"

'They have got affidavits to show old Gill's life's in danger; he is in high fever to-day, and raving furiously, and if he should die, McEvoy declares that they'll be able to send bills for manslaughter, at least, before the grand-jury. 'There's more of it! cried Kilgobbin, with a long whistle. 'Is it Rogan swears the fellow is in danger?
The importance that the law always attaches to possession Mr. McEvoy took care to impress on Gill's mind, and he fully convinced him that a forcible seizure of the premises was far more to be apprehended than the slower process of a suit and a verdict.
McEvoy, true to his promise, organised the opposition it is always the opposition and ejected the Yankee managers, but in the fall of 1850 I resigned, and went a long way south. When I returned, Joliet was a city, and Mr. Rendel, one of my German night scholars, was city marshal. I met him walking the streets, and carrying his staff of office with great dignity.
'I know it all; but I have sent a man to McEvoy about a case that will take all his morning; and he'll be too late with his affidavits. 'By the time he is ready, you and your charge will be snug in Kilgobbin; and another thing, Kearney for I have thought of the whole matter you'll take out with you that little vermin Price, the doctor, and treat him well.
