He felt pretty well convinced also that he was no favourite with O'Shea. He would have liked much to ask if Madame Le Maître liked her husband, but if his own refinement had not forbidden, he had a wholesome idea that O'Shea, if roused, would be a dangerous enemy. "I don't understand why, if she is married, she wears the dress of a religious order." "Never saw a nun dressed jist like her.
They had not travelled far beyond the first and nearest wreck, when the monotony of their journey was broken by a sudden strange excitement which seized on them all, and which Caius, although he felt it, did not at once understand. The pony was jerked back by the reins which O'Shea held, then turned staggering inland, and lashed forward by the whip, used for the first time that day.
O'Shea stalked through the small dark rooms and went out, closing the outer door gently behind him. Caius sat still, wrapped in his blankets. He bowed his head upon his knees. The darkness was only the physical part of the blackness that closed over his spirit. There was only one light in this blackness that was Josephine's face.
'Think of that poor fellow O'Shea, just rising from a sick-bed, said Dick, as his voice shook with agitation. 'They can't hang him. 'No, for the scoundrel Gill is alive, and will be the chief witness on the trial; but they may give him two years with prison labour, and if they do, it will kill him. 'I don't know that. I've seen more than one fellow come out fresh and hearty after a spell.
There was a pause, like a pause in a funeral service, when O'Shea, standing ankle-deep in the water which his boat held, and the men huddled together upon the schooner's deck, turned to look at all the places in which it seemed possible that the body of Le Maître might again be seen.

When Miss O'Shea, arrayed in a scarlet poplin and a yellow gauze turban the month being August arrived in the drawing-room before dinner, she found no one there a circumstance that chagrined her so far that she had hurried her toilet and torn one of her gloves in her haste.
'I'll make it no laughing matter to you, cried Gill, wild with passion, and stepping to the door he cried out, 'Come up, boys, every man of ye: come up and see the chap that's trying to turn me out of my holding. The sound of voices and the tramp of feet outside now drew O'Shea to the window, and passing out on the balcony, he saw a considerable crowd of country-people assembled beneath.
Do you think there's a man in the county would have come on this errand to search Kilgobbin when I was a young man, Mr. O'Shea? 'I think you can afford to treat it with the contempt you have determined to show it.
