Kenny, remembered Whitaker, had searched with tragic eyes for an invited editor who had recklessly agreed to pay in advance for an excursion of Kenny's into illustrating, ostensibly to pay for a cow. And Kenny's words had been: "My God, Whitaker! Where's Graham?" Moreover he had struck himself fiercely on the forehead and Whitaker had grub-staked his host to provisions until Graham arrived.
A few seconds later she saw Kenny's shadow flit hurriedly past the window as he dashed toward the kitchen. For some time she stood perfectly still, listening to the confused jumble of voices in the house across the way, debating whether she should hurry over to explain, and perhaps to assist in dressing poor Zachariah's cuts and bruises.
He became satisfied that she was possessed of the devil, or an evil spirit, by saying the appointed prayers of the church over her; for the spirit manifested uneasiness when this was done; and furthermore, as she was entering the church the following morning, she was thrown into convulsions by Father Kenny's making the sign of the cross behind her back.
"I often think these days of Kenny's wood-fire tales of the shrine of Black Gartan where St. Columba was born. Colomcille, old Kenny called him around the wood-fire, didn't he? Colomcille, Kenny said, having been in exile, knew the homesick pangs himself and therefore could give the good Irishmen who journeyed to his shrine strength to bear them.
An eternity of minutes seemed to tick away in the silence. "Brian, you must believe I meant to be true to Kenny " "Don't!" he choked, paling at the sound of Kenny's name. "Oh, Kenny, Kenny!" Joan buried her face in his arm. Both were thinking with hot remorseful hearts of that stormy penitent with the laughing, tender Irish eyes. Both loved him well.
A man stepped forth. Something seemed to snap in Kenny's heart. Relief roared in his ears and rushed unbidden to his lips. "Oh, my God!" he gasped. It was the gentle, white-haired minister with a book beneath his arm. Startled the old man drew back and peered uncertainly into the darkness. Kenny approached. "I I beg your pardon," he said, wiping his forehead. "I'm sorry."
In spite of the practice hour his friend. Kenny's eyes smarted. "Oh, Adam, Adam!" he said, sick at heart, "I beg your pardon." The snow crunched steadily under Nellie's feet. Kenny stared sadly at the road ahead. Could he tell Joan what now he knew: that when the few bills were paid and the estate balanced, there would be no money left for the year of study?
"So!" said Kreiling gently and passed on to the cheese with deliberate tact, pushing Jan away. A minute later his hand came down with heartiness on Kenny's shoulder. "Spitzbube!" he rumbled affectionately. Kenny laughed but Whitaker saw that his cigarette was shaking. "Music," he reflected, feeling sympathetic, "always makes him wild and sentimental. And Max sang like an archangel."
"What door?" demanded Western Union as he left the cage at the eleventh floor. "Right across the hall." The gate clanged, the cage mounted to the next floor, and P. Sybarite got out, requiring no direction: for Peter Kenny's door was immediately above Bayard Shaynon's.
O'Neill," came the kind, tired voice, "I'm sorry, sorrier than I can tell. I've bad news for you. There has been an accident, a quarry explosion, and your son is badly injured." A hot quiver swept through Kenny's body, ended at his face in a stinging rush of blood and left him icy cold. "Brian!" "Yes. . . . Are you there, Mr. O'Neill?" "Yes. . . . Yes, I am here. Doctor. . . . How badly?"
