"It's ridiculous your talking so," Mrs. Mulready said peevishly, "and about a common young fellow like this. I don't pretend to understand you, Ned. I never have and never shall do. But I am sure the house will be much more comfortable when you have gone. Whatever trouble there is with my husband is entirely your making. I only wonder that he puts up with your ways as he does.
"I am trying to behave nicely," Ned said. "I am sure I meant quite nicely, just as Mr. Mulready does; I think he understands me." "I don't understand that boy," Mrs. Sankey said plaintively when Ned had left the room, "and I never have understood him.
That was a good lesson for the youth. In such matters, however, he did not spare friend or stranger. It is curious, considering how sturdy a pattern of Englishman was Forster, that all his oldest friends were Irishmen, such as Maclise, Emerson Tennant, Whiteside, Macready, Quain, Foley, Mulready, and many more.
Still, of course, it meant I was to be kind anyhow, whatever happened, and I will try to be so, though it is hard when she has brought such trouble upon us all. "As for Mulready I should like to burn his mill down, or to break his neck. I hate him: it's bad enough to be a tyrant; but to be a tyrant and a hypocrite, too, is horrible.
This here paper is a copy of the confession of the man as did it, and who is, they say, dead by this time. It was taken all right and proper afore a magistrate." "Innocent!" Mrs. Mulready gasped in a voice scarcely above a whisper. "Did you tell me, Abijah, that my boy, my boy Ned, is innocent?" "I never doubted as he was innocent, ma'am; but now, thank God, all the world will know it.
Just returned from water colour pictures; some of Prout's of old towns abroad, like Chester; met there not at Chester Lord Grey, Wilkie, Mulready, Lord Radstock, and the Miss Waldegraves, and Lady Stafford, who has more ready and good five minutes' conversation than anybody I know.
Mulready, at Mohill, and who are strongly suspected to be Ribbonmen, or Terryalts, or to call themselves by some infernal name and sect, by belonging to which they have all become liable to death or transportation." The priest paused; but Thady sat quite still, listening, with his eyes fixed on the fender. "Now, Thady, if this is so, what could you gain by mixing with them?
I suppose Ned will be wandering about all night again. Do put on your cap, Charlie, and go out and see if you can find him, and persuade him to come home and go to bed; perhaps he will listen to you." Charlie was absent an hour, and returned saying that he could not find his brother. "Perhaps he's gone up to Varley as he did last time," Mrs. Mulready said.
If you can find an old Mulready envelope, send it here to Miss Walker, who collects stamps and has not got it, and write and thank dear good Lady Walker for her kindness to me. You will get this about the new year. God bless you all, and send us better days in 1862. Caledon, Dec. 10th. I did not feel at all well at Simon's Bay, which is a land of hurricanes.
As to mother, I can do nothing for her. I think my being here makes it worse for her, for I believe you tyrannize over her all the more because you think it hurts me. I know you hated me from the first just as I hated you. As for Lucy, mother must do the best she can for her. Even you daren't hit a girl." "Oh, Ned, how can you go on so?" Mrs. Mulready wailed. "You are a wicked boy to talk so."
