When the widow left the parlour, after having placed her guest in the charge of her daughters, she summoned her son to follow her down stairs, and was very careful not to 1eave behind her the notice which Daly had placed on the table. As soon as she found herself behind the shutter2 of her little desk, which stood in the shop-window, she commenced very eagerly spelling it over. The purport3 of the notice was, to inform her that Barry Lynch intended immediately to apply to the magistrates4 to commit her and her son, for conspiring6 together to inveigle7 Anty into a marriage; and that the fact of their having done so would be proved by Mr Moylan, who was prepared to swear that he had been present when the plan had been arranged between them. The reader is aware that whatever show of truth there might be for this accusation8, as far as Martin and Moylan himself were concerned, the widow at any rate was innocent; and he can conceive the good lady’s indignation at the idea of her own connection, Moylan, having been seduced9 over to the enemy. Though she had put on a bold front against Daly, and though she did not quite believe that Barry was in earnest in taking proceedings10 against her, still her heart failed her as she read the legal technicalities of the papers she held in her hand, and turned to her son for counsel in considerable tribulation11.
‘But there must be something in it, I tell you,’ said she. ‘Though Barry Lynch, and that limb o’ the divil, young Daly, ‘d stick at nothin in the way of lies and desait, they’d niver go to say all this about Moylan, unless he’d agree to do their bidding.’
‘That’s like enough, mother: I dare say Moylan has been talked over bought over rather; for he’s not one of them as’d do
