It was absurd of Patsy not to be satisfied about Shawn's riding the horse. There were some things Patsy needed a bandage for Tartar, some cough-balls for Black Prince, which could be procured at the general shop in Killesky. She went into Sir Shawn's office to write the order. Patsy would come for it presently.
This ruse was to enable Shawn to disengage his middogue, which he did. In the meantime this expedient of Shawn's afforded his opponent time to bring out his skean, two weapons which differed very little except in name. They once more approached one another, each with the armed hand up, the left, and a fiercer and more terrible contest was renewed.
His electric coupé stood at his private door, and his own luggage and Simon Shawn's luggage for Simon never entrusted his master to other hands lay on the roof of the coupé. Simon, anxiously looking at his watch, chatted with the driver. Hugo had been stopped on emerging from the lift by the chief accountant concerning some technical question. At length he came out into the street.
Eileen had been notified of Sir Shawn's illness and had written expressing her concern. But Eileen never could write a letter. The formal and ill-constructed phrases conveyed nothing. Somewhat to Lady O'Gara's surprise Eileen had not offered to return. But after that formal letter another letter had come, quite a thick one, and it lay still unopened amid the accumulated letters. "Poor Eileen!
She is the child of that French soldier, St. Maur, was it? and the Irish governess?" "Of course, Shawn." It had never occurred to Lady O'Gara to doubt it. She looked at her husband with wondering eyes. The lights in her brown eyes were as deep and quiet now as when she was in her young beauty. She had a sudden illumination. Was that the bee in Shawn's bonnet?
Notwithstanding this caution, however, still, when we consider the unsubstantial element on which the battle between them raged for rage it did there were frightful alternatives of plunging and sinking between them. Shawn's opponent was the stronger of the two, but Shawn possessed in activity what the other possessed in strength.
