Morty, for his part, was dumb with astonishment. What talk was this! "The point of honour?" the Colonel repeated, more slowly, "what is it? In nine cases out of ten the fear of seeming to be afraid. In the tenth the desire to wipe out a stain that blood leaves as deep as before!" "Faith, and you surprise me!" Phelim cried with a genuine naïveté that at another time would have provoked a smile.
"Ah, you will," Morty retorted, in that tone which to a mind made up is worse than a blister. "Sure, ye'll not be so hard-hearted, Colonel, as to refuse a lady! It's not Kerry-born you are, and say the word 'No' that easy!" "Do not deceive yourself, sir," Colonel John answered severely, and with a darker look. "I shall not give way either to-day or to-morrow." "Nor the next day?"
Presently there came, as they sat listening to the fluttering breath, a low scratching at the door. At a sign from Colonel Sullivan, who sat on the inner side of the bed, she stole to it and found Morty O'Beirne on the threshold. He beckoned to her, and, closing the door, she followed him downstairs, to where, in the living-room, she found the other O'Beirne standing sheepishly beside the table.
"And was that all?" asked Norton, who I began to entertain apprehensions of Morty O'Flaherty; "did he mention nothing else?" "No," replied Dunroe; "and you scoundrel, was not that a d d deal too much?" Norton, now feeling that he was safe from Morty, laughed very heartily, and replied, "It's a fact, sure enough; but then, wasn't it on your lordship's account I bounced?
In the mane time more power to you in that; for by all accounts it's a sin and a shame to throw away such a girl upon him." Norton now having gained all he could from his old acquaintance, got up, and was about to leave the room, when Morty, looking at him significantly, asked, "Where are you bound for now, if it's a fair question?"
But she had enjoyed the gay life of her little world, nevertheless, and with all the abandon of a youth which had just closed its first long chapter in that silent room on top of the hill. And no one could have asked for a more delightful companion to play with than Morty, when his working hours were over. Mortimer loved society.
"Sure, you're there, Colonel, safe enough?" "Yes, I am here," Colonel John answered austerely. He did not leave his seat at the table. "And as much at home as a mole in a hill," Morty continued. "And, like that same blessed little fellow in black velvet that I take my hat off to, with lashings of time for thinking."
"Oh...why...he asked me to...I know nothing about business, and he naturally would attend to my affairs." "But you are not going away. No one needs your power of attorney. And the executors are Judge Lawton and Mr. Abbott. You are here to sign such papers as they advise....Don't he angry, please. I am not insinuating anything against Morty.
But not if you get into all sorts of bum places w " "Why, look here, Morty " " with me.... However, I'll think it over. Let's not talk about it till to-morrow." "Oh, please do think it over, Morty, old man, won't you? And to-night you'll let me take you to a music-hall, won't you?" "Uh yes," Morton hesitated. A music-hall not mere vaudeville! Mr.
"I will tell you, then, Morty upon an affair that's anything but pleasant to me, and withal a little dangerous: to buy a horse for Dunroe." "Troth, you may well say so; in God's name keep away from horses and. jockeys, or you'll be found out; but, above all things, don't show your face on the Curragh." "Well, I don't know.
