Brian, eying that thin-nostriled, cruel nose, and the undershot jaw of the man, read no mercy there. "First, who are you, Brian Buidh? Are you an O'Neill, as that ring of yours would testify, or are you an O'Malley come down from the western isles?" At that Brian laughed out harshly. "Ask those servants of which you boast, Dark Master.
A solemn silence now ensued for a few minutes, and they thought all was vanished, when again the dreadful cry struck heavily on their ears. "Open the door, Jack," said Harry, "and put out Hector." Hector was a large and very ferocious mastiff belonging to Jack O'Malley, and always accompanied him wherever he went.
The suddenness of this concerted departure only seemed strange afterwards when O'Malley looked back upon it, for at the time it seemed as inevitable as being obliged to swim once the dive is taken. He stood upon a pinnacle whence lesser details were invisible; he knew a kind of exaltation of loftier vision. Small facts that ordinarily might fill the day with trouble sank below the horizon then.
"We'll be the b'ys to find that out," O'Malley answered. "I doubt if we ever make anybody swallow your story," Stan said. Stan and O'Malley had a visitor that night. Allison drove over to see them. Looking around the Nissen hut, he grinned broadly. "Sure, an' I'll call the butler," O'Malley said. "He just stepped into the drawin' room." "Sit down, pal." Stan motioned toward one of the cots.
I'm going on to the end, bitter or sweet, for les beaux yeux of Mary O'Malley. I don't grudge you the Becketts' blessing, but I don't know why it shouldn't be bestowed on us both, with Dierdre and Brian in the background throwing flowers. You didn't love Jim Beckett, for the very good reason that you never met him: so, if you owe no more debts than those you owe his memory, you're luckier than "
"Ah, O'Malley," cried Merivale, "you have your orders; don't wait; his Excellency is coming up." "Get along, I advise you," said another, "or you'll catch it, as some of us have done this morning." "All is right, Charley; you can go in safety," said a whispering voice, as Power passed in a sharp canter.
My Dear O'Malley, Nothing short of your death and burial, with or without military honors, can possibly excuse your very disgraceful neglect of your old friends here. Nesbitt has never heard of you, neither has Smith. Ottley swears never to have seen your handwriting, save on the back of a protested bill.
O'Malley had made on his behalf, he had brightened up, and looked more cheerful than he had done for many months. When that was finished he had felt more sanguine as to his acquittal than he had done at any time since he had first given himself up as a prisoner.
There they crouched down with their knees pulled up. The cans made so much noise there was no danger of the boys being heard. "'Tis a sweet smellin' cab ye called," O'Malley observed. "The smell will keep the Germans from examining it very closely," Sim answered and Stan heard him chuckle. "When we come to a lighted town we'll each have to get into a can."
Alaire spoke with a conviction she did not entirely feel. "Father O'Malley aroused the finer side of his nature." "Perhaps," agreed the priest. "Somewhere in him there is a fear of God." But Dave was skeptical. "More likely a fear of the gringo Government," said he. "Longorio is a four-flusher. When he realized he was licked he tried to save his face by a grandstand play.
