The Stranger's Second Visit to Father M'Mahon.
-- Something like an Elopement.
On the evening of the same day the stranger desired Paudeen Gair to take a place for him in the "Fly," which was to return to Dublin on that night.

He had been furnished with a letter from Father M'Mahon, to whom he had, in Mr.Birney's, fully disclosed his name and objects.

He felt anxious, however, to engage some trustworthy servant or attendant, on whose integrity he could fully rely, knowing, or at least apprehending, that he might be placed in circumstances where he could not himself act openly and freely without incurring suspicion or observation.

Paudeen, however, or, as we shall call him in future, Pat Sharpe, had promised to procure a person of the strictest honesty, in whom every confidence could be placed.
