"But the law of the land is broken every day in our district of Ireland, and not too many words said about it." "Oh, O'Ruddy, that's a different thing. The law of the land in Ireland is the law of the alien." "Father, you're not logical.
You are looking more like a candlestick than you are looking like him. I wonder at you." "But I befooled them," said Bottles proudly. "I befooled them well. It was Mr. O'Ruddy here, and Mr. O'Ruddy there, and the handsome wench she gave me many a glance of her eye, she did."
A good day to you, Lord Strepp, and I hope your principal has no more harm come to him than I care to have come to me, which is precious little, and in which case the two of us will be little hurted." "Good-bye, O'Ruddy," said the young man. In the corridor the Colonel slapped my shoulder in a sudden exuberant outburst. "O'Ruddy," he cried, "the chance of your life!
"You are a stupid old firebrain," he said affectionately to the Colonel. "Well," said the Colonel jubilantly, "now everything is clear. If Mr. O'Ruddy will have me, I will go with him to meet this Forister; and you, Strepp, will accompany Forister; and we all will meet in a friendly way ahem!" "The situation is intimately involved," said Lord Strepp dejectedly.
"Wouldn't you like to have Mike Sullivan with you this day," he cried, naming the most famous fighter in all the land, noted from Belfast to our own Old Head of Kinsale. "I'd give many a guinea," I said, "to have Mike by my side when the Earl comes on." The old father suddenly brought down his open hand with a slap on his thigh. "I'm going to stand by you, O'Ruddy," he said.
But it is certain that it came upon me. The eyes of the daughter of the great Earl of Westport had put in chains the redoubtable O'Ruddy. It was true. It was clear. I admitted it to myself. The admission caused a number of reflections to occur in my mind, and the chief of these was that I was a misfortunate wretch. Jem Bottles recalled me to the immediate business.
"Troth, Mary acushla, an Irishman takes to religion of his own nature, but I much misdoubt me if it comes natural to take to the law." "How often have you been to mass since you came to England, O'Ruddy?" "How often?" says I, wrinkling my brow, "indeed you mean, how many times?" "Yes; how many times?" "Now, Mary, how could you expect me to be keeping count of them?"
O'Ruddy, that I have as great a respect for your generalship as I have for your swordsmanship. The wine is good and revivifying. I've been in that accursed pit all night, and I came to this end of it with greater reluctance than I expected to when I entered the other. We tried to clear away the stones; but they must have piled all the rocks in Sussex on top of us. Are your men toiling there yet?"
My dear lover, is what I call you now; you have come over in tempestuous fashion, with a sword in your hand, striving against every one who would stand up before you. After this morning, all that should be changed, for life seems to have become serious and momentous. O'Ruddy, I want your actions to be guided, not by a drawn sword, but by religion and by law."
Father Donovan had not yet appeared, and the fire was just lit in the kitchen to prepare breakfast, so I took Jem and Paddy with me to the eating shop of the town, and there a sleepy-looking shop-keeper let us in, mightily resenting this early intrusion, but changed his demeanour when he understood the size of the order I was giving him, and the fact that I was going to pay good gold; for it would be a fine joke on The O'Ruddy if the Earl surrounded the house with his men and starved him out.
