He met the two girls in the passage, for Biddy had returned from Mrs. Mehan's, whither she had gone after Ussher had passed, and she was now horrified to find that her mistress's plans had been, as she thought, defeated by her brother, and her departure prevented. "Good God! Mr. Thady," said she, with pretended astonishment, "what ails the misthress then?"
"Stop, Mr. Thady; what are ye in sich a hurry for? I've come a long way to spake to you and we'll both talk pleasanter av' you'd go a little aisier." "Well, Joe, what is it then? I'm in a hurry." "In a hurry is it? but why wor ye in sich a hurry to break the promise you made us all, at Mrs. Mehan's, Thursday night week past. Ah! Mr.
"Did you hear, Brady," said the master, "that they've summoned me for the trial to-morrow?" "Iss, yer honour; they war telling me so up at the court; there's Dolan is summoned too." "Who's Dolan?" "He's one of the boys, Mr. Keegan, as war in it that night at Mrs. Mehan's." "Well, and what can he say? he can't say Macdermot wasn't there.
Mehan's, you did not expect Captain Ussher would be very long lived?" "Faix, he lived longer than I expected seeing the way he war going on through the counthry." "Do you remember telling me some time ago, speaking of Captain Ussher's death, that the thing had been talked over?" "I b'lieve I said as much." "What did you mean by that?" "Why just that the job had been talked about." "What job?"
He was also made to give himself so bad a character that it was more than probable that the jury would not believe a word he had said. Father John was the next; he was only called on to prove that Thady had been intoxicated when he left the party at Mrs. Mehan's, and to speak as to character.
Mehan's bit of a girl, and she's busy readying the rooms; and so, Miss Feemy, if you'd jist let Biddy slip up for the afthernoon, you know Katty could be doing for you down here, and then, Miss, I'd be made intirely." "Well, Mary, I suppose she must go up then; one thing's certain, you can't be getting married every day."
Webb should use all his endeavours to obtain tidings of Corney Dolan, and ascertain whether, in the event of his being summoned, he would be able to give any evidence respecting the meeting at Mrs. Mehan's, which would be of use to Thady at the trial. In this he was successful, and he learnt from that respectable individual that he could swear that Ussher's name was not mentioned at all.
But at the same time he told them that this was a question on which each juror should form his own opinion; in fact that it was to judge of the value and credibility of evidence that they were summoned. It was, also, he said, for them to decide whether the death of the revenue officer was premeditated by the party at Mrs. Mehan's when they talked of ridding the country of him.
What I have said to you respecting this respectable witness, and his not less respectable master, will perhaps be made somewhat plainer to you when you shall have heard the evidence which I hope to extract from the latter. Now, as to the meeting at Mrs. Mehan's, even were you to believe Brady, I maintain that nothing whatever has been proved against the prisoner. Brady states that at Mrs.
"Don't distress yourself, Feemy," said Ussher, "your brother 'll be more himself to-morrow morning; he'll be sorry for what he has said then and if he is so, I am not the man to remember what any one says when they've taken a little too much punch." They had now come near enough to Mrs. Mehan's to see that there were a number of people outside the door.
