Surely you wouldn't murdher this ould man and make the sowl within your body redder if the thing's possible than the head that's on the top of it, though in throth I don't think it's by way of ornament it's there either. You only want to frighten the gentleman. As for your uncle, man alive, all I can say is that he was a friend to your family, and to religion too, that sent him on his travels."
"Heaven be about us!" she exclaimed, once more crossing herself, and uttering a short prayer for protection from evil; "but tell me, how did you know it was his Box, and how did you find it out?" "By the letters P. M., and the broken hinge," he replied. "Blessed be the name of God!" she exclaimed again "He won't let the murdher lie, that's clear.
"Oh! what," she at length asked herself, "would I not now give but for one glance of young Condy Dalton! But it is not to be. The unfortunate murdher of my uncle has prevented that for ever; although I can't get myself to believe that any of the Daltons ever did it; but maybe that's because I wish they didn't. The general opinion is, that his father is the man that did it.
"'I did not, sez Vulmea; 'I was shootin' mesilf. "'That's quare, sez O'Hara, 'for the front av my jackut is black wid your powther. He tuk up the rifle that was still warm an' began to laugh. 'I'll make your life Hell to you, sez he, 'for attempted murdher an' kapin' your rifle onproperly. You'll be hanged first an' thin put undher stoppages for four fifteen. The rifle's done for, sez he.
Sure, an't they as good as man and wife all as one?" "That's it; they'll be fighting and tearing, and tatthering about that money, the two young men will, you'll see. There'll be lawyering, an' magisthrate's work an' factions an' fighthins at fairs; an' thin, as in course the Lynches can't hould their own agin the Kellys, there'll be undherhand blows, an' blood, an' murdher! you'll see else."
"But Vulmea goes on: 'O'Hara will dhrop, an' by the time the light's lit again, there'll be some six av us on the chest av Mulvaney, cryin' murdher an' rape. Mulvaney's cot is near the ind door, an' the shmokin' rifle will be lyin' undher him whin we've knocked him over. We know, an' all the rig'mint knows, that Mulvaney has given O'Hara more lip than any man av us.
Bridget oh, Mother iv Marcy oh, Father O'Flaherty! says she, screechin' murdher from out iv her bed.
"Murdher!" said Ned, astonished, "I beg your honor's pardon; but murdher alive, sir, where's your whiskers?" The stranger put his hand hastily to his face, and smiled "Where are my whiskers? Why, shaved off, to be sure," he replied; and setting spurs to his horse, was soon out of sight and hearing.
"Do you say," he asked, in an agitated voice, "that you have no manes of tracin' the murdher?" "None more than what we've tould you." "Did this Box belong to the murdhered man? I mane, do you think he had it about him at the time of his death?" "Ay, an' for some time before it," replied the woman. "It's all belongin' to him that we can find now."
"I turned on my belly an' crawled through the grass, a bit at a time, to where the spache came from. There was the twelve av my room sittin' down in a little patch, the dhry grass wavin' above their heads an' the sin av black murdher in their hearts. I put the stuff aside to get a clear view. "'Fwhat's that? sez wan man, jumpin' up. "'A dog, says Vulmea. 'You're a nice hand to this job!
