Considerable astonishment was excited, some days subsequently to Maguire's pardon, by a statement that, in the case of the other prisoners included in the verdict, "the law should take its course." No one credited this declaration for an instant, and most persons felt that the Crown officials were indulging in an indecent piece of mockery.
Now there existed in Littlebath at this time a weekly periodical called the Christian Examiner, with which Mr Maguire had for some time had dealings. He had written for the paper, taking an earnest part in local religious subjects; and the paper, in return, had very frequently spoken highly of Mr Maguire's eloquence, and of Mr Maguire's energy.
"A search was made, and Brady proved to be correct. Not a vestige of anyone was discovered. "Much mystified, Maguire's party was preparing to depart, when Hartnoll, who had taken the keenest interest in the proceedings, suddenly said, 'Who has the rooms over yours, Brady? Sound, as you know, plays curious tricks, and it is just as likely as not that laugh came from above.
It would, of course, be impossible, at such a moment as this, to make any answer to such a proposition as Mr Maguire's. He came, and when the servant gave him the message at the door, he sent up craving permission to see her but for a moment. She could not refuse him, and went down to him in the drawing-room, with her shawl and bonnet.
By this body a General Assembly of the entire Nation was summoned to meet at the same city, on the 23rd of October following the anniversary of the Ulster rising, commonly called by the English party "Lord Maguire's day."
Be this, however, as it may, we have only to state, in continuation of our narrative, that at the period of Art Maguire's most lamentable degradation, and while his admirable but unhappy wife was stretched upon the burning bed of fever, the far low sounds of the Temperance Movement were heard, and the pale but pure dawn of its distant light seen at Ballykeerin.
"The night succeeding the affair, whilst the Dean and O'Farroll were still in jail awaiting the inquest, a party of undergraduates were discussing the situation in Maguire's rooms, when the door burst open, and into their midst, almost breathless with excitement, came a measly, bespectacled youth named Brady Patrick Brady.
"I don't make other men's speeches, Mr. Maguire." "Suit yourself about that. It shall be just as you please." "The difficulty is that I have not decided myself, yet, how I shall vote, and of course such an act is binding." Mr. Maguire's countenance changed again. "I'm sorry to hear that. I hoped you were for Porter. He's far away the best man." "So I think."
This and many other explanations I gave in a speech on Ireland, in the debate on Mr. Maguire's Resolution, early in the session of 1868. A corrected report of this speech, together with my speech on Mr. Another public duty, of a most serious kind, it was my lot to have to perform, both in and out of Parliament, during these years.
Maguire's in this for fur and feathers, and if you go before the convention as a candidate, we'll fill the air with them." "Is that part of the message?" asked Peter. "By that we mean that half an hour after you accept the nomination, we'll have a force of detectives at work on your past life, and we'll hunt down and expose every discreditable thing you've ever done."
