For the sake of one person he must be safe." "Well," observed Teddy, "let us hear no more about them; it's all settled that we are to set up in Glen Dearg above again--for this Hycy,--who's sthrivin' to turn the penny where he can." "It is," said Bat; "an', to-morrow night, let us bring the things up--this election will sarve us at any rate--but who will come in ?" (* That is, be returned.) "The villain of hell!" suddenly exclaimed Kate, as if to herself; "to go to ruin the young man! That girl's breakin' her heart for what has happened." "What are you talkin' about ?" asked her husband.
"Nothing," she replied; "only if you all intend to have any rest to-night, throw yourselves in the shake-down there, an' go sleep.

"Hycy Burke is a bad boy, Bat," she said, as the husband was about to follow their example; "but he is marked--I've set my mark upon him." "You appear to know something particular about him," observed her husband.
"Maybe I do, an' maybe I don't," she replied; "but I tell you, he's marked--that's all--go to bed now." He tumbled after the rest, Kate stretched herself in an, opposite corner, and in a few minutes this savage orchestra was in full chorus.
What an insoluble enigma is woman! From the specimen of feminine delicacy and modest diffidence which we have just presented to the reader, who would imagine that Kate Hogan was capable of entering into the deep and rooted sorrow which Kathleen Cavanagh experienced when made acquainted with the calamity which was about to crush her lover.

Yet so it was.

In truth this fierce and furious woman who was at once a thief, a liar, a drunkard, and an impostor, hardened in wickedness and deceit, had in spite of all this a heart capable of virtuous aspirations, and of loving what was excellent and good.

It is true she was a hypocrite herself, yet she detested Hycy Burke for his treachery.
