His son, Martin Ross's father, had the famine to cope with and survived it; but of the second convulsion from which emerged the Ireland of to-day he saw only the beginning, for he died in 1873, when the organised peasant uprising was at most a menace. But his wife knew both periods the bad times of the late 'forties and the bad times of the early eighties.
"Not till Monday, when we dine at Colonel Ross's. He is an old friend of Lord Rathforlane." "Then I am inclined to let it cool. Sometimes advice that has been resented does its work." "You don't think the interference justifiable?" "Not from that quarter." "And can it be needful to attend to it?"
"The factories can't make money on such a plan as that," said Adelaide, again repeating a remark of Ross's, but deliberately, because she believed it could be answered, wished to hear it answered. "No, not dividends," replied Madelene. "But dividends are to be abolished in that department of the university, just as they are in the other departments.
I don't think they will want to do it again, and I was better off in a nice room all to myself, where I could dress comfortably, but had not many appliances for that end. Ross's brother "Jack" rode off to penetrate as far as they could beyond "construction." I am a little nervous about his ride, for the road is a mere track, and very rough, however, wagons and mules do travel on it.
Frank, with Alec as a companion and trainer, accompanied by one of Mr Ross's servants, who was also a splendid skater, had gone over the route two or three times, and so was quite familiar with it.
Ross's hands shook slightly as he fed the blaze. It was only too clear why anyone would make a signal on this shore. McNeil or perhaps both he and Ashe had survived the breakup of the raft, after all. They had reached this point abandoned no earlier than this morning, judging by the life remaining in the coals and put up the signal.
"I don't see any particular joke in my having my maiden name." Abner, who instantly guessed at what was in Ross's mind, turned white at the thought of what they had escaped. Suppose he had laid on the card and asked for Miss Claiborne! "What's the matter, Champe?" inquired Ross, in a fairly natural tone.
Ross's right hand resting on the desk was very eloquent: horny, scarred and knotted at every joint, with broken, twisted nails, and nearly closed, as though fitted to the handle of an axe or a spade. Peter preached as if he were speaking quietly to one person only, but every word was plain and every sentence went straight to someone. I believe he looked every soul in the eyes before he had done.
I know I was queer, and spiteful, and jealous, and no great wonder that for I always was a man with a nastyish temper, and soon put out; but even Mrs Bantem used to shew that she wasn't quite perfect, for she quite upset me, one day, when Measles got talking at dinner about Lizzy Green, Miss Ross's maid, and, what was a wonderful thing for him, not finding fault.
It was loud, almost directly above his head, but since the cotton mist held he was not afraid of being sighted. The chanter must be on the jetty. And to Ross's right was a dark bulk which he thought was one of the cutters. Was a sortie by the besieged being planned? Then, out of the night, came a dazzling beam, well above the level of Ross's head where he clung to the piling.
