"I came to talk to you " began Mr. Logan as he was led hospitably away.
"I'm going to ask you to see that my horse is fed and watered," he requested evenly. "And I reckon you'd better eat your own lunch, yourself." But the man behind him had already anticipated that suggestion. Through a generous bite of sandwich he made answer. "I'll see that he is taken care of," he called cheerfully. "See you later, Mr. O'Mara Pshaw, the coffee's cold!"
It was that he might hear the opinion of the court in connection with his copartner in crime. The latter's record was taken. Roger O'Mara, the Irish political lawyer who had been his counsel all through his troubles, stood near him, but had nothing to say beyond asking the judge to consider Stener's previously honorable career.
And then oh, Jim! when I came to know my cosmopolitan cowboy; when he told me he hated titles and all that appertained to them; then indeed I blessed the moment when I had writ myself down plain 'Mrs. O'Mara'; and I resolved not to tell him of my title until he loved me enough not to mind it, or wanted me enough, to change me at once from Lady Ingleby of Shenstone Park, into plain Mrs.
A few nights after that which I have just mentioned, Ellen Heathcote disappeared; but her father was not left long in suspense as to her fate, for Dwyer, accompanied by one of those mendicant friars who traversed the country then even more commonly than they now do, called upon Heathcote before he had had time to take any active measures for the recovery of his child, and put him in possession of a document which appeared to contain satisfactory evidence of the marriage of Ellen Heathcote with Richard O'Mara, executed upon the evening previous, as the date went to show; and signed by both parties, as well as by Dwyer and a servant of young O'Mara's, both these having acted as witnesses; and further supported by the signature of Peter Nicholls, a brother of the order of St.
Stephen O'Mara met for a moment the level, measuring glance of its rider, before Miriam Burrell turned to Barbara. "I've enjoyed exceedingly our morning canter, Bobs," her alto voice drawled. Then, before Barbara could reply, she threw one booted leg from the stirrup and dismounted.
She had seen him ride away, too, Mr. O'Mara. And I learned it then, just from the terror in her face. But I didn't know until later how much she cared. "She came into my room this morning, and that, although you can't know it, was more than odd in itself, because I have always been the one to carry my woes to her.
Since Stephen O'Mara had brought her back to her father, Barbara had wondered why she did not cry. Great tears were sliding noiselessly down her cheeks when she raised her head. "I've tried to think I haven't dared," Barbara sobbed. "But he doesn't want me now. He doesn't want the kind of a girl I am any more!"
Of course it is an age of incredulity, but Salemina, Francesca, and I have not come to Ireland to scoff, and whatever we do we shall not go to the length of doubting the fairies; for, as Barney O'Mara says, 'they stand to raison.
He came to his feet and crossed and clapped one hand upon Steve's shoulder. "Next May!" he barked. "O'Mara, I'm glad you came down this morning.
