"'Tis easy to see them, they're big enough, but thou canst never move one ear and not the two together." The lank grey beggarman put his hand to his ear, and he gave it a pull. O'Donnell laughed and paid him the six pieces. "Call that a trick," said the fistless lad, "any one can do that," and so saying, he put up his hand, pulled his ear, and what happened was that he pulled away ear and head.
Back went the pirates, and farther back. Brian found that he had cut his way to Lame Art, and with a yell the forces joined and swept on the Dark Master's men. O'Donnell had vanished, and now his men were swept back to the bulwarks and over to their own deck.
The Colleen's crew had hoisted their mains'l already and there she lay swayed up and all ready, and men aloft were even then putting the seizing on. Tom O'Donnell himself was pointing it out to Sam Hollis with a good deal of glee, thinking, I suppose, to worry Hollis, who, to uphold his reputation, would have to do the same and take the chances that went with it.
The victory was with Kildare, who, after encamping on the field for twenty-four hours, by the advice of O'Donnell, marched next day to Galway, where he found the children of Clanrickarde, whom he restored to their injured mother.
Even Jefferson Pettigrew enjoyed listening to "Home, Sweet Home" and "The Last Rose of Summer," while the miners were captivated by merry dance tunes, which served to enliven them after a long day's work at the mines. One day there was a sensation. A man named John O'Donnell came down stairs from his room looking pale and agitated. "Boys," he said, "I have been robbed."
And it is not my business; it is very much the reverse but I am compelled to undertake it as my own, when I abhor the business. It is hard for me to speak of it, much more to act a part in it. 'Perhaps, Caroline interposed hurriedly, 'Mr. O'Donnell would not be unwilling to begin the day with some duets?
O'Neil, two days after the expiration of the truce, invested the fort on the Blackwater, and seemed resolved to reduce it, if not by force, by famine. O'Donnell, as usual, was operating on the side of Connaught, where he had brought back O'Ruarc, O'Conor Sligo, and McDermot, to the Confederacy, from which they had been for a season estranged.
Among those admitted freely to that loving circle, James Rooney was one held in affectionate regard. The man who had been the means of bringing him there, Maurice O'Donnell, was his Jonathan, nay more than his Jonathan, for to him young Rooney had given all his hero-worship. He was, indeed, of the heroic stuff, older, graver, wiser than his friend.
If he did, be sure he was specially prepared, and the Johnnie had an off-day. But I suppose he'll be holding on now for Gloucester?" Clancy said maybe, but no telling, and explained how it had been the skipper's discouragement after Hollis had beaten him. O'Donnell said he was foolish to worry over a thing like that. "I know Sam Hollis," he said "'twas a trap he laid for Maurice.
Brian ordered his men to give quarter to all the Scots who would accept it, if they got inside the castle, and as they marched forward through the darkness he found to his delight that O'Donnell seemed to have no sentries out. "We have caught the black fox this time," muttered Cathbarr, after they had passed the camp-fires without discovery and the black mass of the castle loomed up ahead.
