"He was in the army, but resigned his commission when he came into his land." "Why?" "To look after his people. He had great ideas about a landlord's duties to his tenants." "O'Ryan's tenants have enormous ideas about his duties to them." "That must be trying.
Then he called to the dispersing gossiping crowd: "Hold on hold on, you people. I've got news for you. Folks, this is O'Ryan's night. It's his in the starry firmament. Look at him shine," he cried, stretching out his arm towards the heavens, where the glittering galaxy hung near the zenith. "Terry O'Ryan, our O'Ryan he's struck oil on his ranch it's been struck. Old Vigon found it.
It was a bonfire built on O'Ryan's ranch, near where he had struck oil struck it rich. The light grew and grew, and the prairie was alive with people hurrying towards it.

The acting before them was more realistic than anything they had ever seen, or were ever likely to see again in La Touche. All three conspirators, Fergus, Holden, and Jopp, realised that O'Ryan's acting had behind it an animal anger which transformed him. When he looked into their eyes it was with a steely directness harder and fiercer than was observed by the audience.
It was true that O'Ryan now would be a rich man one of the richest in the West, unless all signs failed; but, meanwhile, a union of fortunes would only be an added benefit. Besides, he had seen that O'Ryan was in earnest, and what O'Ryan wanted he himself wanted even more strongly. He was not concerned greatly for O'Ryan's absence.
At last O'Ryan's strength came to the point of breaking, for Vigon was a powerful man, and to this was added a madman's energy. He felt that the end was coming. But all at once, through the groans of the victim in the chair, Terry became conscious of noises outside such noises as he had heard before he entered the house, only nearer and louder.
Terry's got his own at last. O'Ryan's in it in it alone. Now, let's hear the prairie-whisper!" he shouted, in a great, raucous voice. "Let's hear the prairie-whisper! What is it?" The crowd responded in a hoarse shout for O'Ryan and his fortune. Even the women shouted all except Molly Mackinder. She was wondering if O'Ryan risen would be the same to her as O'Ryan rising.

Jopp was older than O'Ryan by three years, which in men is little, but in boys, at a certain time of life, is much. It means, generally, weight and height, an advantage in a scrimmage. Constantine Jopp had been the plague and tyrant of O'Ryan's boyhood.
