I'll go down to my cabin directly, and write to Father McGrath, telling him the whole affair, and desiring him to ferret him out, and watch him narrowly, and I'll bet you a dozen of claret, that in less than a week he'll find him out, and will dog him to the last. He'll get hold of his Irish servants, and you little know the power that a priest has in our country.
If what McGrath said was true, that Lloyd's losing money keeping on, I dunno how we can expect him or any other man to do that." "Why not he lose money as well as we?" demanded Nahum, fiercely. "'Cause we 'ain't got none to lose," cried Jim Tenny, with a hard laugh, and Eva and Fanny echoed him hysterically. Nahum took no notice of the interruption.
A more hospitable man than Father McGrath never lived even in Connaught; he took a look in at dinner time as a personal favour; and whatever might be the state of his larder, his heart was always full, and the emptiness of the former never troubled him. He had not the slightest shame at asking any one to eat potatoes and cold mutton.
He never took his eyes off Number Eleven; he could not bear to look around and see the nine devouring the corn-meal so hungrily. Perhaps McGrath could not, and certainly he would not, he was so obstinate, have told why he felt so reproached by the scene. He had felt very guilty for many weeks.
McGrath did not share Mulvany's views that "There are Oirish and Oirish." Even Phoenix Park had failed to shake her view that anarchy and assassination belonged only to "foreigners." No Irishman, said she, was in the bloody bomb business of '86; and as for Dr. Savin' your presence, major, what would the gentleman be doin' wid him that was here last week?"
"Well, what did you do when you found Peg-Leg make him a visit for a couple of days?" demanded the drover with sarcasm. "No, I don't know him well enough to visit only well enough to shoot at." "What's that?" asked Webb sharply. "Think I was goin' to let 'em plug Tim McGrath an' get away with it?" snapped Jim. "That's my business not yours. What did you do? Come clean."
Rathbawne has his character and his record behind him. There is about as much chance of his yielding you an inch of ground as if he were standing with his back against the Capitol!" McGrath shrugged his shoulders. "It's a damned funny way you have of not influencing people's judgment," he said. "I mis-stated my attitude in saying that," retorted the Lieutenant-Governor coolly.
During the night he pushed his track up to the disputed crossing, 'rushed' the guarded engine, and ditched it." Virginia felt that she ought to be decorously sorry for relationship's sake, but the effort ended in a little paean of joy. "But Uncle Somerville what will he do?" "He is with McGrath on the engine, getting himself and us to the front in a hurry, as you perceive."
If an exchange was required, it's made, that's certain; but I will write again to Father McGrath, and insist upon his finding out the truth, if possible. Have you any letter from your father?" "None, I am sorry to say. I wish I had, for he would not have failed to speak on the subject."
"'Terence O'Brien, said Father McGrath, 'its absolution that you'll be wanting to-morrow, after all your sins and enormities; and the devil a bit shall you have take that now. "'Father M'Grath, replied I very angrily, 'it's no absolution that I'll want from you, any how take that now.
