Strange Scene at Midnight. The hour so mysteriously appointed by Red Rody for the delivery of the Tobacco-box to Hanlon, was fast approaching, and the night though by no means so stormy as that which we have described on the occasion of that person's first visit to the Grey Stone, was nevertheless dark and rainy, with an occasional slight gust of wind, that uttered a dreary and melancholy moan, as it swept over the hedges.
Having heard the conversation between Rody Duncan and her father, which satisfied her that the plot for taking away Mave Sullivan was to be executed that very night, Sarah, with her usual energy and disregard for herself, resolved to make an effort to save her generous rival, for we must here acquaint our readers, that during the progress of her convalescence, she had been able to bring to her recollection the presence of Mave Sullivan in the shed on more than one occasion.
"Faith, Rody, that required no great knowledge on his part; there's not a man here but could have tould you the same thing, and there's none of us a conjurer."
When Donnel Dhu had closed his lengthened conference with Henderson, he turned his steps homewards, and had got half-way through the lawn, when he was met by Red Rody.
"I know he's inside, for didn't I see him goin' in well, may all the devils hem oh, good morrow, Charley troth you'd make a good messenger for death. I'm knocking here till I have lost the use of my arm wid downright fatigue." "Never mind, Rody, you'll recover it before you're twice married come in." They then entered. "Well, Rody, what's the news?" "What the news, is it?
Why then is anything in the shape of news of good news I mean to be had in such a counthry as this? Troth it's a shame for any one that has health an' limbs to remain in it. An' now that you're answered, what's the news yourself, Charley? I hope that the Drivership's safe at last, I thought I was to sleep at home in my comfortable berth last " "Not now till afther the 'sizes, Rody."
"But tell me, Donnel; you don't intend, surely, to leave poor Sarah behind us?" "Eh? Sarah?" returned the Prophet. "Ay; bekaise you said so awhile a-gone." "I know I said so awhile ago; but regardin' Sarah, Rody, she's the only livin' thing on this earth that I care about.
It appeared, however, that late as the hour was, there were other persons abroad as well as themselves, for Sarah could distinctly hear the footsteps of several persons passing along the adjoining road, past the Grey Stone, and she also thought that among the rest might be distinguished the voice of Red Rody Duncan.
"You have mine you have all our forgiveness," replied the old man; "but, Nell, ax God's, for it's His you stand most in need of ax God's!" Nell, however, appeared to hear him not. "Is that your hand in mine, avick?" said she, addressing her son. "It is it is," said the son. "But, mother, I didn't, as I'm to stand before God, aim the blow at you, but at Rody."
The villain that allowed Peggy Murtagh an' her child to starve to death! Aren't we to pay him a visit?" Dalton coughed several times, to clear his throat; a settled hoarseness having given a frightful hollowness to his voice. "Ay," said he "ha, ha, ha by the broken-heart she died of well well eh, Rody, what are we to do to him?"
