O'Donahue and McShane had reserved the secret; but when their friend was sent for, anticipating some such result would take place, they requested him to return to them from the Hall: he did so, and acquainted them with what had passed. "There's no time to lose, then," said McShane; "I will, if you please, take a copy of this deposition."
Two days more, and I should have made a pretty kettle of fish of it." "What, at your age, McShane?"
McShane found that after disposing of the goodwill of the business, and of the house, they would have a clear 30,000 pounds, which he considered more than enough for their wants, uncumbered as they were with children.
Our hero simply said, "My dear sir, I am quite well, and have found employment, so pray do not grieve about me, as I never shall forget your kindness. Joey McShane." On the following Sunday Joey was dressed in his sailor's suit, and looked very well in it. He was not only a very good-looking, but a gentlemanlike boy in his manners.
We must allow the day to pass away; during which Emma and our hero, McShane and Mary, were sitting together; tears of misery wiped away tears of joy still flowing and glistening with the radiance of intermingled smiles. The next morning McShane and O'Donahue arrived, the Secretary of State had given immediate orders for our hero's release, and they had brought the document with them.
"You must present me to your wife, McShane." "That I will with pleasure. She's like her rounds of beef it's cut and come again; but her heart is a beauty, and so is her beefsteak-pie when you taste it."
The carriage procured for their journey was what is called a German batarde, which is very similar to an English chariot with coach-box, fixed upon a sleigh. Inside were O'Donahue and his young bride, McShane preferring to ride outside on the box with Joey, that he might not be in the way, as a third person invariably is, with a newly married couple.
"Exactly; that will leave it an open question, as the saying is," replied McShane. The next day O'Donahue, in his uniform, drove to the ambassador's hotel, to accompany him to the Annishkoff palace, where he was to be presented to the emperor.
"I really cannot positively say," replied McShane; "but this is not holiday-time. Come, sir, we must not part yet; your conversation is too interesting. You must allow me to call for some more brandy; poor as I am, I must treat myself and you too. I wish I knew where I could pick up a little money; for, to tell you the truth, cash begins to run low." Furness was now more than half drunk.
"That's the truth, Mr Trevor; so now with many thanks, we will take our leave, and call upon you to-morrow." McShane and O'Donahue then proceeded to the gaol, and demanded permission to see our hero. "There are two ladies with him, just now," said the gaoler; "they have been there these three hours, so I suppose they will not be much longer." "We will wait, then," replied O'Donahue.
