Constans recognized him instantly, even before Ulick's eager whisper had reached his ear. It was Quinton Edge. Constans knew that he was doing a foolish thing, but the humor of the moment gripped him, and he yielded to it.
Colonel John did not speak for a moment, and when he did answer, it was with a severity that overbore Ulick's anger, and in a tone of contempt that was something new to the big man. "If the breath be firm in those whom you, Ulick Sullivan," he said "ay, you, Ulick Sullivan and your fellows would have duped, it is enough for me! For myself, whom should I fear?
Ulick's fondness for him, more than all, showed him capable of the disinterested touch; but then to belie his own heart to abandon him he bred a favourite, just when the boy wants him most Oh! how could he? And all for what? To please the wife he hates: that can't be that's only the ostensible but what the raal rason is I can't guess. No matter he'll soon tell us." "Tell us!
A telegram in the hall for Ulick, a hesitation in Ulick's voice, a sudden shifting of the eyes anything sufficed and therewith he was burnt to the bone, far beyond the bone, into the very vitals. Even now in his study, he waited another scalding.
"I will go," he said, and took Ulick's hand in both his own. The storm-centre of the fighting had moved away from them; above their heads the stars shone serenely. Constans could not speak, but he pointed them out to his friend. Piers Minor, fighting in the press at the gate as became his stout breed, chanced to rescue a boy from being crushed to death.
The coarse intonation was more obvious in the "Christe Eleison," sung by four solo voices, than in the "Kyrie," sung by the full choir; and she did catch a slight equivocation, and the discovery tended to make her doubt Ulick's assertion that the altos were wrong in the "Kyrie," for, if she heard right in one place, why did she not hear right in another?
Then he remembered that he was wearing a suit of Ulick's clothes and that his hair was cut after the Doomsmen fashion. It was a comfortable assurance of the merit of his disguise that it had passed muster so easily; he had only to guard against talking too much, and detection was practically impossible. So he contented himself with what might pass for an obeisance and some vague words of apology.
"Oh, she asked you to stay to dinner!" Such a simple explanation of Ulick's absence Owen hadn't thought of, and, reading his face, Ulick hastened to tell him that after dinner they had gone to a concert.
She could see from Ulick's description of her acting that she had acted very well; if she had not, he could not have written like that. But her acting only seemed extraordinary when she read about it. It was all so natural to her. She simply went on the stage, and once she was on the stage she could not do otherwise. She could not tell why she did things.
Every just demand of this sort was paid, all were satisfied; even the bare-footed kitchen-maid, the drudge of this great house, who, in despair, had looked at her poor one guinea note of Sir Ulick's, had that note paid in gold, and went away blessing Master Harry. Happy for all that he is come home to us, was the general feeling.
