"There, there, lady," Shane put in; "don't get excited it only counts against you. Mr. Driscoll, here, wouldn't have no reason to do such a thing as you speak of! Why would he do that, now?" "But he must have done it," broke in Miss Ames. "For I use that bathroom of Eunice's and that thing hasn't been in it, since I've been here."
"Lord Acton's view of history," said Shane Leslie, "was that ideas, not men or events, made the differences between one era and the next." The mind is always the storm centre of revolutions, the breeding ground of the most conflicting theories.
He soon after applied to Charles IX, King of France, to send him five thousand men to assist him in expelling the English from Ireland. Then war set in again between the English Lord Deputy and Shane O'Neil.
"Right enough, Tom," observed Shane Fadh "sure most of the matches are planned at them, and, I may say, most of the runaways, too poor, young, foolish crathurs, going off, and getting themselves married; then bringing small, helpless families upon their hands, without money or manes to begin the world with, and afterwards likely to eat one another out of the face for their folly; however, there's no putting ould heads upon young shoulders, and I doubt, except the wakes are stopped altogether, that it'll be the ould case still."
Lowering looks however were bent upon him from every side of the table. Captain Pierce, an English officer, had been busy the day before stirring up the smouldering embers of anger. Suddenly a taunt was flung out by one of the guests at the discomfited hero. Shane forgetting perhaps where he was sprang up to revenge it.

And when they're fastened, nothing from the other side of the door could undo 'em. But, I say here you, Ferdinand!" The butler came forward, his face surprised rather than alarmed, and stood at attention. "What do you know of events here last night? "Shane asked him. "Nothing, sir," and Ferdinand's face was blankly respectful. "You'd better tell all you know, or you'll get into trouble."
Embury and I had a slight difference of opinion, but not enough to call a quarrel." "What about?" broke in Shane, who had been listening intently. Eunice did not speak until Elliott advised her. "Tell all Eunice it is the best way." "We had a slight discussion," Eunice said, "but it was earlier in the evening. We had spent the evening out Mr. Embury at his club, and I at the house of a friend.
Neither Shane nor Driscoll was present, and Mason Elliott introduced Stone to the two ladies, with a deep and fervent hope that the great detective could free Eunice from the cloud of danger and disgrace that hovered above her head. His magnetic smile was so attractive that Aunt Abby nodded her head in complete approval of the newcomer.
On the other hand, a younger son Shane called affectionately "Shane the Proud" by his clansmen was unquestionably legitimate, and what was of much more importance, was already the idol of every fighting O'Neill from Lough Foyle to the banks of the Blackwater.
