It would have been easy to think with a kindly pity of how much better it would be for the poor child without a name to drift quietly out on the great sea. Not so Lady O'Gara. Her whole being had been in suffering for the suffering of this young thing who had crept into her heart. Now she was lifted up with the thought of Stella coming back to life and health. For the rest it was in the future.
If the old people remembered Julia Dowd's little public-house with its thatched roof, the low ceiling and the fire of turf to which you could draw a chair while you had your drink, the little parlour beyond which was reserved for customers of a superior station, they did not talk about it. Inch too was shut up. Mrs. Comerford had gone away after Mary Creagh's engagement to Sir Shawn O'Gara.
"Thank you, miss," she said humbly. "I'm sure he'll be a dear little dog and a great companion." She had a fluttered, flustered look. Her breath came short. Lady O'Gara wondered if her heart was strong. "I've been expecting you any day at all, m'lady," she went on.
I'd like if you'd the time you'd come in and see Susan. She's frightened like in herself an' she won't listen to rayson." "Why, what's the matter?" asked Lady O'Gara, turning towards the lodge, while Patsy re-padlocked the gate. She did not wait for his answer, which was slow of coming. Patsy was always deliberate. In the quiet and cheerful interior of the lodge she found a terrified Susan.
I would have done what I could. They were gone. No one knew what had become of them. They had gone away quietly and mysteriously. The little place was shut up one morning. You remember how pretty it was, the little thatched house behind its long garden. They had gone to America. Fortunately the people had not begun to talk." "That poor little thing!" Lady O'Gara said softly.
'The good woman of the house there might, he said. 'She keeps herself to herself. I never knew this gate locked before. Poor Susan asked me twenty questions about what the man looked like. I think she was satisfied." "We are going to bring Mrs. Wade a gift of a puppy," Lady O'Gara said. "You shall select one from Judy's family, with the assistance of Patsy. They are a good lot."
It was your husband who told me Bride Sweeney had come back, who urged me to get Stella away. I was mad ever to have come home." "Hush, hush!" said Lady O'Gara, wringing her hands and whispering. "Stella is in there; she will hear you..." "Perhaps I mean her to hear me. She shall know what sort of woman it is who has crept back here to disgrace her and me and to ruin her life."
I have a piece of Carrickmacross lace somewhere which would make a fichu. You must remind me, Eileen. We live so quietly here that I do not remember how the fashions change." "I've hardly noticed, either," said Eileen, with a hand on the door handle. "The pink does very well for home-wear. But if Terry is going to have friends, I should want something a little smarter." Lady O'Gara smiled.
The next year Spain had five Irish regiments in her regular army, three of foot and two of dragoons, under the command of Lacy, Lawless, Wogan, O'Reilly, and O'Gara. But it was in France that the Irish served in the greatest number, and made the most impressive history for themselves and their descendants.
A pale shaft of Winter sunshine stole through the low hall window, filtered through red dead leaves that gave it the colour of a dying sunset. It fell on Stella's hair, bringing out its bronzes. She had the warm bronze hair of her father's people. It came to Lady O'Gara suddenly that she and Stella had much the same colouring. In Terence Comerford it had been ruddier.
