Medora laughed carelessly oh, how could she! Kitty Gowan jumped up and boxed O'Grady's ear with one of Medora's long, flat parcels. "Get away, you saucy child!" she said. O'Grady grimaced and nursed his ear. "It serves you right!" said Elizabeth Gibbons tartly. Preciosa was placated; the great retribution had fallen.
This being refused, they asked for 30 per cent. on the judicial rents, and 40 per cent. on the others. This also being refused, Father Ryan had his way, and the "Plan of Campaign" was adopted. The O'Grady's writs issued against several of the tenants were met by a "Plan of Campaign" auction of cattle at Herbertstown in December 1886, the returns of which were paid into "the Fund."
At the end of the fifteenth mile, where the second portage began, O'Grady was two hundred yards in the lead. He gained another twenty on the portage and with a breath that was coming now in sobbing swiftness Jan put every ounce of strength behind the thrust of his paddle. Slowly they gained. Foot by foot, yard by yard, until for a third time they cut into O'Grady's wake.
Words came out of the post-office slit smooth, husky words with gloves on 'em, but sounding as if they might turn to bare knuckles any moment. "Say, Sport, do you know where you are at? Well, dis is Mike O'Grady's district you're buttin' into see? Mike's got de stomach-ache privilege for every kid in dis neighborhood see?
While she was getting it from his wardrobe, his mind wandered from supper to the pension, which he looked upon as secure now that Scatterbrain was returned; and oyster-banks gave place to the Bank of Ireland, which rose in a pleasing image before O'Grady's imagination.
He shouted the news into O'Grady's ear, and then there arose from O'Grady's chest a great sobbing cry, partly of joy, partly of pain, and more than all else of that terrible grief which came of the knowledge that back in the pit of death from which he had escaped he had left forever the vision of life itself.
It is mighty hard that after having lost an arm in the service of my country I should be treated like a child and sent off to bed." "I am going, too, O'Grady," Terence, who had gone back to his original place, now said. "There is no occasion to go to bed. I have a box of good cigars in my tent, and we can sit there and chat as long as you like." But O'Grady's dignity was ruffled.
A few minutes later all sail was set on the Sea-horse, and with her yards braced tautly aft she laid her course south, close-hauled; a fresh breeze was now blowing, and she ploughed her way through the water at a rate that almost justified O'Grady's panegyrics upon her.
He had a second canoe waiting for him at the end of the portage, and perhaps others farther on. It was unfair. He could still hear O'Grady's taunting laughter as it had rung out in Porcupine City, and the mystery of it was solved. His blood grew hot so hot that his eyes burned, and his breath seemed to parch his lips.
Billing: It may simply have been Dr. O'Grady's force of character which vanquished him. He allowed himself to be led away. "Now Thady," said Dr. O'Grady, "tell me exactly what happened and what the trouble is." "It was on account of my mentioning young Kerrigan's wife," said Gallagher. "Young Kerrigan hasn't got a wife," said the Major. "Better begin at the beginning," said Dr. O'Grady.
