It was after the horses went back that Sir Henry is said to have destroyed himself. I went up to the castle, but McDermott had given orders for no one to be let in on any account. "Yours, "Kathleen McShane." "This is news, indeed," said I, handing the letter to Timothy. "It must have been my threatening letter which has driven him to this mad act."
The journey was continued at the same rapid pace until the close of the day, when they arrived at the post-house; there they stopped, McShane and Joey, with the assistance of the courier, preparing their supper from the stores which they brought with them.
"You speak like a very rational, sensible, intelligent courier," replied McShane, "and so now let us finish the bottle. Here's good luck to Captain O'Donahue, alive or dead: and now please the fleas I'll be asleep in less than ten minutes."
"I will, my child, I will; and I will love her dearly for your sake. Now go on with your history, my dear boy." We must leave our hero and his mother in conversation, and return to McShane and O'Donahue, who, as soon as they had breakfasted, repaired to the lodgings of Mr Trevor. McShane, who was spokesman, soon entered upon the business which brought them there.
In about a quarter of an hour Mrs Austin and Mary made their appearance; the former was closely veiled when she entered the gaoler's parlour, in which O'Donahue and McShane were waiting.
I don't like this champagne get a bottle of Burgundy, Dimitri. Don't look so hard it's all right. The captain dines out every day, and has ordered me to drink for the honour of the house." "He's a capital master," replied Dimitri, who had begun to feel the effects of the former bottles. As soon as the third bottle was tapped, McShane continued
"With all my heart, for then I'm somebody," replied McShane. "You?" replied the courier. "I mean my master," returned McShane, correcting himself; "for he's an officer, and a good one, too." "Yes, that may be; but you said yourself," replied the courier, laughing. "My good friend, a valet to any one in Petersburg is no better than one of the mujiks who work in the streets.
Let it not be supposed that McShane had ceased in his inquiries after our hero; on the contrary, he had resorted to all that his invention could suggest to trace him out, but, as the reader must be aware, without success.
"I cannot refuse my consent after what you have said." Two days after this conversation the parties separated: O'Donahue, with his wife, accompanied by Dimitri, set off on their return to Saint Petersburg; while McShane, who had provided himself with a proper passport, got into the diligence, accompanied by little Joey, on his way back to England.
But Joey, as before, would admit nothing; he was satisfied with their belief in his innocence, but, having made up his mind to suffer, could not be persuaded to reveal the truth, and McShane and O'Donahue quitted the cell, perceiving that, unless most decided steps were taken, without the knowledge of our hero, there was no chance of his being extricated from his melancholy fate.
