"But sure, and I'm not seeing how else we'll be rid of him handsomely," Phelim replied. "No!" she repeated firmly. "No! I forbid it!" Again the man sauntered by the entrance, and again he cast the same insolent, smiling look at the house. They watched him pass, an ominous shadow in the sunshine, and Flavia shuddered. "But what will you be doing, then?" Morty asked, rubbing, his chin in perplexity.
"Well, Morty," replied his lordship, adjusting his collar, "you know we must all die. I cannot guess what unpleasant tidings he may have heard to-day; but I know that I have heard little else from him this many a day. Tell Mr. Norton to see about the bills I gave him, and have them cashed as soon as possible. If not, curse me, I'll shy a decanter at his head after dinner."
Then there is the sale of some races against me on that most elastic sod; and I fear they are not yet forgotten. Yes, I shall avoid the Curragh; but you know, a fit of illness will easily manage that. However, pass that by; I wish I knew what the old peer and the young one are discussing." "What now," said Norton to himself, after Morty had gone, "can this M'Bride be scheming about in the family?
It would be like a woman to secrete them in a reaction of terror after having nerved herself up to the deed. She wished that Gora had gone to Hong Kong. Bolted. Then she could be certain. But at least she had a respite, and she felt so ebullient that she almost forgot her loss, and swept Morty over to the Lawtons after dinner; and the Judge took them all to the movies.
"Jig's up pretty definitely, don't you think?" said Adams, with a glance around at the idle track force huddling for shelter under the lee of the flats and the octopod. Winton shook his head and groaned. "I'm a ruined man, Morty." Adams found his cigarette case. "I guess that's so," he said quite heartlessly. Then: "Hello! what is our friend the enemy up to now?"
"But by the Holy," Uncle Ulick flamed up, "I'd have hung on their heels and raised the country! By G d, I would!" "Ay, ay! The thieves of the world!" "They took the big road by Tralee," James McMurrough explained sulkily. "What was the use?" "Were there no men working in the bogs?" "There were none near by, to be sure," Morty said.
"Moreover, no doubt you have discovered that Morty is the sort of man who looks upon women as man's natural inferiors, that if there is any question of sacrifice the woman is not to be considered for a moment...especially where no public risk is involved.
The Colonel opened his mouth to speak, but he caught Flavia's look of distress, and he refrained. And "For my part," Morty continued jovially, "I'd not wait for you know what! The gentleman's way's the better; early or late, Clare or Kerry, 'tis all one! A drink of the tea, a peppered devil, and a pair of the beauties, is an Irishman's morning!"
A few days ago I seen the same schemer skulkin' about the house as if he was afeared o' bein' seen; and that beef and mutton may be my poison, wid health to use them, but I seen him stealin' out of his lordship's own room. So, now make money o' that; only when you do, don't be puttin' it in circulation." "No danger of that, Morty, in any sense. At all events, I don't deal in base coin."
Indulgent by nature, and somewhat indolent, she had been more than willing that Morty should enjoy his new authority, should even delude himself that he was footing all the bills, poor dear; and she listened raptly to his evening visions of their future life in Burlingame, alternated with visits to New York and England, the while she puzzled over the intricacies of some character portrayed by a master analyst.
