I am afraid, Mr. Folliard, that the report is too true and that the house is haunted. O'Donnel, you must come home with me to-night." O'Donnel, who entertained no apprehension of ghosts, finding that the "authorities" were not in question, agreed to go with him, although he had a small matter on hand which required his presence in another part of the country.
As for myself, I have nothing more to say." "Don't go yet, O'Donnel," said Whitecraft; "let us determine what is to be done with him. You see clearly it is necessary, Mr. Folliard, that this deep-designing Jesuit should be sent out of the country." "I would give half my estate he was fairly out of it," said the squire. "He has brought calamity and misery into my family.
"But I know where he has arms concealed," said the Rapparee, looking significantly at the baronet, "and I will be able to find them, too, when the proper time comes." "Ha! indeed, O'Donnel," said Sir Robert, with well-feigned surprise; "then there will be no lack of proof against him, you may rest assured, Mr. Folliard; I charge myself with the management of the whole affair.
He was so much elated by his reception that he sent agents to France, who assured the ministers of Lewis that the O'Donnel would, if furnished with arms and ammunition, bring into the field thirty thousand Celts from Ulster, and that the Celts of Ulster would be found far superior in every military quality to those of Leinster, Munster and Connaught.

Novelist, dau. of Robert Owenson, an actor, was the author of several vivacious Irish tales, including The Wild Irish Girl , O'Donnel , and The O'Briens and the O'Flaherties ; also two books on society in France and in Italy characterised by "more vivacity and point than delicacy," and a Life of Salvator Rosa.
The last hope of the garrison and of the Roman Catholic inhabitants was that Baldearg O'Donnel, the promised deliverer of their race, would come to the rescue. But Baldearg O'Donnel was not duped by the superstitious veneration of which he was the object. While there remained any doubt about the issue of the conflict between the Englishry and the Irishry, he had stood aloof.
The whole of Lacy's command was opposed to them, swelled by reinforcements sent down from above by O'Donnel who, in Daun's absence, was in command.
"Steen," said the baronet, "what or who do you suppose this ragged ruffian was?" "Either a Rapparee, sir, or Reilly himself." "O'Donnel," said he, addressing the Red Robber, "what description of disguises do these villains usually assume? Do they often go about as beggarmen?"
In 1815 they were invested with the right to 'make known grievances, but they had only once managed to perform this modest function. It was hardly worth while to talk about them on the 18th of March 1848. On the morning of that day, Count O'Donnel, the Vice-Governor of Milan, announced the Emperor's concessions.
