He had been able to laugh within a half-minute after the words "unmitigated blackguard" had smitten his ears; but they had rankled for all that. It was not so much the insult, as the knowledge that it was justified. He was remarkably candid with himself, was Michael McGrath. Hence the unparalleled venom of the strike at the Rathbawne Mills.
I shall first run down to Plymouth and hoist my pennant; then I shall ask for a fortnight's leave, and go to Ireland to see how they get on, and what Father McGrath may be about. So, Peter, let's pass this evening as happily as we can: for though you and I shall soon meet again, yet it may be years, or perhaps never, that we three shall sit down on the same sofa as we do now."
Didn't he steal a horse, and only save his neck by benefit of clergy? and did he ever give absolution to any young woman without making her sin over again? `What may be your pleasure here, Father McGrath? says he, holding the door with his hand. "`Only just to call and hear what's going on.
The rest had turned to each other, embracing frantically, and repeating his words in a kind of frenzy. Presently McGrath raised his hand, and, as silence was restored at the signal, turned to the bar-tender with his thin smile. "Set 'em up, Dick," he said composedly. "It's on me, this time, and we'll drink to better days."
Sure you're the woman that knows everything, and a mighty pretty woman into the bargain. "`Let me alone now, Father McGrath, and don't be pinching me that way anyhow. "`It was only a big flea that I perceived hopping on your gown, my darling, devil anything else.
"`Devil a bit, says she; `he's an Englishman, and speaks plain enough. "`But what can a man mane, to come here and sit down all alone? says I. "`All alone, Father McGrath! replied she: `is a man all alone when he's got his wife and childer, and more coming, with the blessing of God? "`But those boys are not his own childer, I believe, says I.
He wanted to be all alone for a minute, to dwell in solitude upon the fact that it was he, Freckles McGrath, who had won this great victory for reform. It was he, Freckles McGrath, who had assured the Governor's future. Why, perhaps he had that afternoon made for himself a name which would be handed down in the histories!
McGrath, with his back to the others, was examining with an elaborate air of interest a map of Alleghenia which hung upon the wall. Colonel Broadcastle and his fellow-members of the Citizens' Committee, stood close to, and facing, the Governor's desk. The air was electric with suggestion of a crisis about to come.
"`Indeed! says I; `many thanks for the information, and pray what is it that Mary Sullivan has brought into the world? "`That's a child, too, says he; `and now that you know all about it, good evening to you, Father McGrath. And the ugly brute slarnmed the door right in my face. "`Who stole a horse? cries I; but he didn't hear me more's the pity.
One of the Department's autos was out in the grounds, and into this McGrath bundled the three submarine boys. Five minutes later they were in the tailoring establishment, where a good many ready-made uniforms were kept for sale. What a whirl it was.
