'O'Shea will do well enough, said the old man; 'he was not brought up to kid-leather boots and silk linings in his greatcoat. There's stuff in him, and if it comes to sleeping under a haystack or dining on a red-herring, he'll not rise up with rheumatism or heartburn. And what's better than all, he'll not think himself a hero because he mends his own boots or lights his own kitchen-fire.
The question of the hospital had been solved in this way. Madame Le Maître had taken O'Shea and his wife and children to live with her, and such patients as could be persuaded or forced into hospital were taken to his house and nursed there.
Kearney shook his head doubtingly, and muttered, 'There's a great deal said about wounded pride and injured feelings, but the truth is, these things are like a bad colic, mighty hard to bear, if you like, but nobody ever dies of it. 'From all I hear about young Mr. O'Shea, said Holmes, 'I am led to believe he will scarcely live through an imprisonment. 'To be sure! Why not?
He might have been tempted now to believe that the vision was some bright illusion, if its reality had not been proved by the fact that Madame Le Maître knew that he had a companion, and that O'Shea had staked much that he should not take that long moonlight walk by her side.
'What a blessing to that benighted country would be one liberal statesman! exclaimed Miller: 'one man of the mind and capacity of our present Premier! 'Heaven forbid! cried Gorman. 'We have confusion enough, without the reflection of being governed by what you call here "healing measures." 'I should like to discuss that point with you, said Miller. 'Not now, I beg, interposed Miss O'Shea.
But, after all, what had he done of which he was ashamed? What was his guilt? Had he felt any emotion that it was not natural to feel? Had he done anything wrong? Again he did not know. He sat with head bowed, and felt in dull misery that O'Shea was a better man than he more useful and brave, and not more guilty.
Oh, why is it that my high spirits have so run away with me this morning that I have forgotten all reserve and all shame? But the truth is, I feel half wild with joy, and joy in my nature is another name for recklessness. 'I sincerely hope not, said Kate gravely. 'At any rate, you give me another reason for wishing to have Miss O'Shea here.
I smiled and observed "We'll be losing you that way some time." "No," he replied, as I thought somewhat sadly, "I lost my chance long ago." All that day Parnell worked with desperate energy for O'Shea. He even took some of our men from Scotland Division to help in Exchange. I expostulated with him, saying, "You'll be losing T.P.'s election for us."
The village in its entirety for the division was a purely local and arbitrary one belonged to Miss Betty O'Shea, forming the extreme edge of her estate as it merged into the vast bog; and, with the habitual fate of frontier populations, it contained more people of lawless lives and reckless habits than were to be found for miles around.
The danger of O'Shea, however, was hardly noticed by the men on the schooner, because of the horrible fact that the closing of the bits of ice together made it improbable that Le Maître could rise again. For a moment there was an eager looking at every space of blue water that was left. If the drowning man could swim, he would surely make for such an aperture.
