Patsy was to watch by Sir Shawn for the afternoon and evening: so much had been conceded to him. She was expecting the doctor when another summons came this time it was Sir Felix Conyers, who came tip-toeing along the corridor since she could not go downstairs to him. "I'm terribly sorry for this dreadful accident, Lady O'Gara," he said.
What I wanted to say to you, however, is this: You are livin' in the same house with Woodward; keep your eye on him watch him well and closely; he is plotting evil for somebody." "Why," said Barney, "how do you know that?" "I have it," replied Shawn, "from good authority.
Has this person been long with him?" "I don't know, m'lady. No one came in this way. I went a while ago to see if the fire was burning, and I found the door locked, m'lady, I concluded Sir Shawn did not wish to be disturbed." "Sir Shawn's visitors on business come in by the window that opens on the lawn. The handle of the office door is rather stiff. I don't think it could have been locked."
Her head as she moved it about in the lamplight she had bird-like gestures showed a sheen like a pheasant's breast. Watching her miserably Sir Shawn O'Gara said to himself that Terence Comerford's red hair had come out as golden bronze on his daughter's pretty head. He had a girl at either hand, as Lady O'Gara had the two male visitors.
"Well, Shawn, if she has desalted you, I know one that loves you better than ever she did, and that would never desart you, as Grace Davoren has done." "Ah, Caterine," replied the outlaw, sorrowfully, "I am past that now; my heart is broke I could never love another. What proof of truth or affection could any other woman give me after the treachery of her who once said she loved me so well?
If the man had disappeared he had probably good reasons for disappearing. Perhaps he would not come back. He might be frightened of the thing he had done. Anyhow, she was grateful for so much relief; and if Shawn was going to live she felt that she could endure all other troubles. After a time she remembered something something that must be done. Mrs. Comerford must be told about Stella.
And, besides, I have raison to know that he will be arrested this very night for attempting to poison his brother. I am a humble young man, Miss Riddle, but I am afeard that if you marry him you will stand but a bad chance for happiness." "She was again silent, but, after a pause, she said "Shawn, do you want money?"
He detached a gold medallion from his watch-chain, and handed it to Shawn, who departed with it and with the tea-tray. Two minutes later, having climbed the staircase between the inner and outer domes, he stood, fully clad in a light-gray suit, on the highest platform of the immense building, whose occidental façade is the glory of Sloane Street and one of the marvels of the metropolis.
"I suppose I am a little jealous of Terry," she said. "You see he is very like you, Shawn. And I am fond of Eileen, really. Only, I suppose all mothers are critical of the girls their sons fall in love with, especially if it is an only son. It is odd how it has come suddenly to Terry that Eileen is a pretty girl. Of course he has only seen her in her vacations.
"You think I'm not fit to be wid him," said Patsy mournfully. "Maybe there's the smell o' the stables about me, though I put on me Sunday clothes and claned me boots." "No, no; Sir Shawn wouldn't mind the stable smell. Nor should I. I want you to do something for me. I'll tell you in the office. Here's Reilly now." Reilly came in, cat-footed.
