But though I am not afraid, and though it is not what McGovery says I mind and he is not such a fool as some others nevertheless I do think, in fact, from different sources, I know, that there is something going on through the country, which will bring the poor into worse troubles than they've suffered yet; and if, as I much think, they've come here to talk of their plans to-night, and if you know that it is so, you're foolish to be among them."
"Oh! the cow! only, you see, if you don't come down with the money as you should, it might be an excuse for your poverty. But, Denis, I'll take care; and if any one should say anything about the price of cows or the like, I'll tell them all it isn't Betsy Cane's cow, who wouldn't have the calf, though she was engaged." Denis McGovery now hurried off.
Fun indeed! no, but it's good earnest I'm talking; and if you have a character that you wish to support, and to give your children after you, it's now you should be looking to it." Denis McGovery began twirling his hat round in his hand, and bending his knees, as if nonplussed. He had known well enough, beforehand, what the priest would say to him, and the priest too, what answer he would get.
Thady's unusual intoxication last night his brutal conduct to his sister to Ussher, and to himself the men with whom he had been drinking his own knowledge of the feeling the young man entertained towards Keegan, and the hatred the tenants felt for the attorney all these things conspired to convince Father John that McGovery had too surely overheard a conversation, which, if repeated to Keegan, might probably, considering how many had been present at it, give him a desperate hold over young Macdermot, which he would not fail to use, either by frightening him into measures destructive to the property, or by proceeding criminally against him.
"Bad luck to it for a calf!" exclaimed McGovery; and then, sidling up to the priest, "you wouldn't be setting all the boys laughing at me, Father John, and thim sthrangers, too." "Well, well, Denis, but why didn't you tell me the whole?"
"And he's the boy that would do it, directly. And mind this, McGovery, you've the name of a prudent fellow when you're once married, the less you see of your brother-in-law the better, and stick to your work in Drumsna." "And so I manes. Oh, yer riverence, they won't be making me be wasting my hard arned wages at Mrs. Mulready's.

"McGovery tells me that he thinks some of the boys that are here to-night are come to hold some secret meeting; and that, from the brothers of the two men I arrested the other day being in it, he thinks their purpose is to revenge themselves on me." "And if it war so, Captain Ussher, what have I to do with it?"
McGrath," he began, "and it's well since you're out so early, that it's not the other way you went, for I'd been greatly bothered if I hadn't found you." "But here I am, you see, and if it was only after me you were going, I suppose you can turn, for I'm going to Drumsna." "Oh to be sure I can; don't you be going, Denis McGovery."
"But if you want to see the dancing, wait till Miss Feemy stands up it's she that can dance; you'll stand up with the Captain, Miss Feemy, won't you?" "Indeed I will, Corney, if he asks me." "Axes you! ah, there's little doubt of that; it's he that's ready and willing to ax you, now and always." "Ah! Mr. McGovery, shure man, you're not bait yet! you wouldn't give in to Biddy that soon?"
