James's Church, an ugly brick building with no spire or tower, which was consecrated on June 28, 1867, and the apse was built out at the east end about a dozen years later. There is a row of stained-glass windows low down across the west end. Going back to Walham Green proper, we find a double row of almshouses, shut off from the Vanston Place Road by iron gates.
"If there is further evidence necessary," said Vanston, looking at Hycy significantly, "my agent can produce it and he is now in the house." "I think you would not venture on that," replied Hycy. "Don't be too sure of that," said the other, determinedly.
"We are passing," observed Vanston, "from one to another rather irregularly, I fear; don't you think we had better hear this girl fully in the first place; but, my good girl," he added, "you are to understand that we are not here to investigate any charges against Mr. Hycy Burke, but against the Hogans. You will please then to confine your charges to them."
I feel excuse me, Vanston, for the admission, but upon my honor it is truth I feel, I say, that, in the matter of the election that is, so far as M'Mahon was concerned, he my agent made a cat's paw of me.
He voted for Vanston that can't be denied; and proved himself to have less honesty and scruple than even that profligate Hycy Burke; and if he made a bargain with Vanston, as is clear he did, an' voted for him because the other got his fine reduced, why that is worse, because then he did it knowingly an' with his eyes open, an' contrary to his conscience ay, an' to his solemn promise to myself; for I'll tell you now what I never mentioned before, that I put him on his guard against doing so; and he knew that if he did, all would and must be over between him and me."
"Very well," said the master, allowing him to take the glass which he received again brimming, "thanks, James." "'Well, said Bryan, lettin' go my collar, 'blame any one you like; blame me, blame Vanston, blame Chevydale, Fethertonge, anybody, everybody, the Priest, the Bishop, the Pope, but don't dare to blame Kathleen Cavanagh. "'Why, said I, 'has she been right in her condemnation of you?
"I am to meet Vanston at Chevydale's by-and-by, uncle. There's to be an investigation there; and by the way, allow me to bring Hycy's anonymous letter with me it may serve an honest man and help to punish a rogue. What if you would come down with me, and give him the breeze?" "Well," replied the uncle, "for the novelty of the thing I don't care if I do.
"Why," said his mother, "what differ does it make?" "Why," replied the other, "that Vanston votes to keep us slaves, and Chevydale to give us our political freedom: the one is opposed to our religion and our liberty, and the other votes for both."
A man would think now to hear you attack M'Mahon for bribery, that you never had bribed a man in your life; and yet you know that it is the consciousness of bribery on our own part that prevents us from attempting to unseat Vanston." "That's all very true, I grant you," replied the other; "but in the mean time we must keep up appearances.
"What a probable story!" exclaimed Hycy; "and you kept it to yourself, like an honest girl as you are, until now!" "Why, Mr. Burke," said Vanston, quickly and rather sharply, "surely you can have no motive in impugning her evidence upon that subject?"
