Mary Nally smiled without a sign of embarrassment. "Maybe I am," she said, "some day." "To-day," said Miss Clarence. Mary Nally, pulling aside a curtain of pendent shirts, looked out through the window of the little shop. She knew that the post boat had arrived at the pier and that her visitor, a stranger on the island, must have come in her. She wanted to make sure that Michael Kane was on board.
He was ready to marry Mary Nally and her shop. He was not prepared to trust her among his porter barrels and his whisky bottles until the ceremony was actually completed. The law requires that a certain decorous pause shall be made before the celebration of a marriage. Papers must be signed or banns published in church.
"The woman he's marrying," said Michael, "is one by the name of Mary Nally, the same that keeps the post-office and sells tobacco and tea and suchlike." "If he's marrying her to-day," said Peter Gahan, "it's the first I heard of it." "That may be," said Michael, "but if you was to read less you'd maybe hear more.
Nally, Gray, Dummington, Dent, Adams, Speake, Price, Posey, and Cobey, citizens of Maryland, have Negroes supposed to be with some of the regiments of this Division; the Brigadier General commanding directs that they be permitted to visit all the camps of his command, in search of their Property, and if found, that they be allowed to take possession of the same, without any interference whatever.
"I suppose now," she said, "that it was Michael Kane told you that. And it's likely old Andrew that he said I was marrying." "He said you were going to marry the King of the island," said Miss Clarence. "Well," said Mary Nally, "that would be old Andrew." "But isn't it true?" said Miss Clarence. A horrible suspicion seized her. Michael Kane might have been making a fool of her.
She looked up when Miss Clarence entered the shop. Then she rose and laid aside her knitting. She had clear, grey eyes, an unemotional, self-confident face, and a lean figure. "I came to see Miss Mary Nally," said Miss Clarence. "Perhaps if she isn't too busy I could have a chat with her." "Mary Nally's my name," said the young woman quietly.
