Two days after the last recorded interview between Lord Ballindine and his friend, Dot Blake, the former found himself once more sitting down to dinner with his mother and sisters, the Honourable Mrs O'Kelly and the Honourable Misses O'Kelly; at least such were the titular dignities conferred on them in County Mayo, though I believe, strictly speaking, the young ladies had no claim to the appellation.
Hussy's answer was, to cut down the knave; next, "he raught to O'Kelly's squire a great rap under the pit of the ear, which overthrew him; thirdly, he bestirred himself so nimbly, that ere any help could be hoped for, he had also slain O'Kelly, and perceiving breath in the squire, he drawed him up again, and forced him upon a truncheon to bear his lord's head into the high town."
Their co-relatives, sometimes their rivals, but oftener their allies, were the O'Ruarcs of Breffny, McDermots of Moylurg, the O'Flahertys of Iar or West Connaught, the O'Shaughnessys, O'Heynes, and O'Dowdas. The great neighbouring family of O'Kelly had sprung from a different branch of the far-spreading Gaelic tree.
O'Kelly I will leave you his address, he put his hand into his pocket 'has orders to return the money 'To whom? she inquired, struck by his sudden break. 'To me, of course, he said slowly. 'Is it perfectly plain? do you understand? Now, then, listen. I have inquired what the law is you will have to be married both at the mairie and by the chaplain at the British embassy.
Besides," added the O'Kelly, "we can smoke up here;" and seating himself where he could keep an eye upon the door, near to a small cupboard out of which he produced a pipe still alight, the O'Kelly prepared himself to listen. I told him briefly the reason of my visit. "It was my fault, Paul," he was good enough to say; "my fault entirely.
I and the lord are both Sim's fools now. Not but I'm the first of the two, for I'd never be fool enough to give away all my land, av' my father'd been wise enough to lave me any." Captain O'Kelly soon found out the manner in which the agent had managed his father's affairs.
"Indeed I did not, Miss O'Kelly: Andy'd no such good chance; his wife's to the fore this day, worse luck for him. It was only his mother he was burying." "But you didn't take him away from his mother's funeral?" "Oh, I did it according to law, you know. I got Bingham to give me a warrant first, before I let the policeman lay a hand on him."
In its centre was a golden vase, and in the vase were four scarlet roses. The deck was covered with a scarlet carpet, a strip of which ran forward to the galley-hatch, so that the service might be noiseless. Lady Nora was dressed in white and wore no jewels. Miss O'Kelly was partially clad in a brocaded gown, cut as low as even the indiscretion of age permits.
None of the three other persons sleeping in the house Dora, the nurse, the old bonne, had heard a sound. When John arrived in the morning, his practical common sense suggested a number of measures for Louie's pursuit, or for the discovery of her fate, should she have made away with herself, as he more than suspected measures which were immediately taken by himself, or by the lawyer, Mr. O'Kelly.
A slipper of remarkable antiquity, discovered on the floor and regarded as a gift from Providence, was flung from the window by brother George, with admirable aim, and alighted on the roof of the cab. The waiter, on his return, not being able to find it, seemed surprised. I walked back as far as the Obelisk with the O'Kelly and the Signora, who were then living together in Lambeth.
