The Red House Mystery It mayn't have been terrible for you," put in Ussher, who had a habit of conversational reversion, "but I bet it was no joke in the tool-house! Ladies Must Live If Captain Ussher manes to marry you, under all circumstances, I don't know you could do better. The Macdermots of Ballycloran But you know Ussher's death was settled among them; and you must say it out plainly—d'ye hear? The Macdermots of Ballycloran Ramsden was in this mood when he met with Dr. Ussher. Great Astronomers Then another gentleman will ask you whether you were absolutely walking off with him when the blow was struck which killed Captain Ussher; and, Feemy, you must also answer that truly. The Macdermots of Ballycloran Mrs. Ussher stared at him in baffled, unhappy silence, and in the pause, the door quickly and silently opened and Christine herself entered. Ladies Must Live "Well, it's all one to me: good night to you all," and Captain Ussher rode away home to Mohill. The Macdermots of Ballycloran "Why the witness had just said that he supposed it was this thing about Captain Ussher," said Mr. Allewinde. The Macdermots of Ballycloran "You told the jury some time since that the prisoner owned to you in the avenue that he had killed Captain Ussher, did you not?" The Macdermots of Ballycloran "At any rate, they talked of sodding Captain Ussher at the wedding—didn't they?" The Macdermots of Ballycloran Laura and Ussher were standing at the table watching the last bitter moments of the game between Nancy and the unfortunate Wickham. Ladies Must Live Three men and an old woman were found in the cabin when Captain Ussher entered with three of his own men. The Macdermots of Ballycloran "The prisoner then owned to you," continued Mr. Allewinde, "that it was he who killed Captain Ussher?" The Macdermots of Ballycloran "You mean to say by that, that arrangements had been made by certain persons to kill Captain Ussher?" The Macdermots of Ballycloran "Well, now, on your oath, have you ever, in the prisoner's presence, heard such language used respecting Captain Ussher as made you think that he was to be killed?" The Macdermots of Ballycloran And after the minimum time had elapsed during which all three talked at once recounting their own individual anxieties, Ussher asked: "Where's Max?" Ladies Must Live Captain Ussher stared, and Feemy opened wide her large bright eyes; for what reason could her brother desire her to stay in doors? The Macdermots of Ballycloran "Captain Ussher had been talked over in such a manner as to prevent your feeling much surprise, when you found that the prisoner had killed him, isn't that it?" The Macdermots of Ballycloran Then they'll not believe him—they'll believe you a deal sooner than him that way; but you must be plain about this, Brady, that they were talking about Ussher that night—d'ye hear? The Macdermots of Ballycloran "And now you say, that at the wedding, the prisoner promised in a day or two to meet the same boys at Mrs. Mulready's, to settle their plans of ridding the country of Ussher?" The Macdermots of Ballycloran "I assume my husband is asked wherever I am," and then turning to Laura Ussher she added with a faint smile: "One's husband is always asked, isn't he?" Ladies Must Live "When I do want to quarrel with you, Captain Ussher,—that is, should I ever want,—you may be quite certain it's not in a round about way I'll be telling you of it." The Macdermots of Ballycloran "Do you remember telling me some time ago, speaking of Captain Ussher's death, that the thing had been talked over?" The Macdermots of Ballycloran He was then asked whether he himself had not cautioned Thady against Ussher, telling him the reports that were going through the country as to Ussher's treatment of his sister. The Macdermots of Ballycloran And then he thought of his position with Keegan and Ussher. The Macdermots of Ballycloran Mrs. Ussher brought him over at once and introduced him. Ladies Must Live "Then, Captain Ussher, it's you'll be sorry for the day you were trating that way an innocent boy that knows nothing at all at all about it." The Macdermots of Ballycloran Ussher still remained silent; he did not know how to answer to this question. The Macdermots of Ballycloran In this he was successful, and he learnt from that respectable individual that he could swear that Ussher's name was not mentioned at all. The Macdermots of Ballycloran Feemy could not say a word to her father: his absolute idiotcy, and the manner in which he referred to Ussher, quite upset her, and she sat down and wept bitterly. The Macdermots of Ballycloran For instance, he had said to her as she was about to start for the Usshers': "I hope you'll explain to them why I could not come." Ladies Must Live No, Captain Ussher, I doesn't threaten you, but there is them as does; and it's this day's work, or this night's that's all the same, will be the black night work to you. The Macdermots of Ballycloran My learned friend on the other side has truly told you that Miss Macdermot, the prisoner's sister, had consented to elope with Captain Ussher on the evening on which that man was killed. The Macdermots of Ballycloran But don't you know that Macdermot, Reynolds, and the other fellow agreed to put an end to Ussher? The Macdermots of Ballycloran "And Ussher then raised you by the arm, and then you fainted?" The Macdermots of Ballycloran Can't you hear him, 'Curious thing happened the other day—at my friends the Usshers'. Ladies Must Live I'm sorry to baulk Feemy of her walk, Captain Ussher, if she did say so. The Macdermots of Ballycloran "Have you heard Captain Ussher threatened with death in the prisoner's presence?" The Macdermots of Ballycloran Feemy tried to rise and whisper something, but she was unable, and when Ussher stooped and absolutely lifted her from her seat, she had really fainted. The Macdermots of Ballycloran But when Ussher stopped, Thady gently came down the avenue unperceived; he saw him stoop, and lift something in his arms, but still up to this time he had not recognised the voice. The Macdermots of Ballycloran "There are worse places than the tool-house," said Riatt, as he and Ussher hurried down to the cellar to put out the furnace fire. Ladies Must Live Father Cullen reseated himself by the fire, and again assumed his gaze at the hot turf, just as he was before Ussher came in, and looked hopelessly immovable. The Macdermots of Ballycloran But at the avenue gate they found Fred Brown's horse and gig, exactly where Ussher had left it, excepting that the horse was leisurely employed in browsing the grass from the ditch side. The Macdermots of Ballycloran It would be useless for him to tell them that even then, at that same time, he had cautioned Ussher to avoid the danger with which he was threatened. The Macdermots of Ballycloran That blackguard Ussher has escaped out of the counthry afther all, without paying any of us the debt that he owed us, for all the evils he's done. The Macdermots of Ballycloran "You drive me mad," he said and stamped away from her so hard, that Ussher came up from the cellar. Ladies Must Live There was nothing, therefore, very singular in Captain Ussher's visit; and yet, from what was uppermost in the mind of each of the party, it did surprise them all. The Macdermots of Ballycloran A good many reasons also induced Ussher to think that he stood in no danger of any personal assault. The Macdermots of Ballycloran "Don't alarm yourself about me; I don't be in the habit of taking a servant's advice about things, Captain Ussher." The Macdermots of Ballycloran Feemy, too, had looked very pretty and nice, and had not contradicted him; and whereas what Thady had drunk had made him cross, Ussher had only just had enough to make him good-humoured. The Macdermots of Ballycloran "We're not dining till a quarter past eight, my dears," said Mrs. Ussher. Ladies Must Live Ussher would not come till the evening, and her hair was therefore in papers—and the very papers themselves looked soiled and often used. The Macdermots of Ballycloran "It appears to me, Macdermot," said Ussher, "that though your sister was in want of no protector before you came, she is in great want of one now." The Macdermots of Ballycloran Oh no! you weren't so bad as that; but you were going to eat Ussher about something. The Macdermots of Ballycloran Ussher calculated that Feemy would not be missed till he had had two hours' start, and that then it would be impossible to catch him before he reached Dublin. The Macdermots of Ballycloran "I see," he said rather coldly, and turned to Mrs. Ussher, but Nancy was not so easily disposed of. Ladies Must Live Why, he wanted yesterday, to make me believe that these fellows who are to drown Keegan this morning, were to shoot Ussher last night! The Macdermots of Ballycloran And shure—do you mane to let Keegan off, and Ussher, the black ruffians, that way; do you intend to put up with everything from the likes of them? The Macdermots of Ballycloran He could hardly believe that after what Thady had said to him, after the promises he had made, he would deliberately, and with premeditation, plan and execute Ussher's murder. The Macdermots of Ballycloran Such an idea was incompatible with the knowledge that he had of Thady's disposition, and he concluded that there must have been some quarrel between the two men, in which Ussher had fallen the victim. The Macdermots of Ballycloran When Mrs. Ussher discovered extraordinary qualities of mind and sympathy in some hitherto impossible man, you might be certain it was time to begin to book him in advance. Ladies Must Live Ussher now returned to his two friends, whose tempers were by no means improved by the calamity which had occurred. The Macdermots of Ballycloran Thus they continued until they came to the avenue leading up to the house, and on Ussher's proceeding with them through the gate, Thady put himself in the way, stopping him. The Macdermots of Ballycloran But it mustn't be for a week or a fortnight, but till the affair of Captain Ussher is finally settled. The Macdermots of Ballycloran When he came in, Ussher shook hands with Feemy as he would with anybody else, and began talking gaily to the two other girls. The Macdermots of Ballycloran Fortunately she did not say it aloud, for Mrs. Ussher came down at this moment, and soon Hickson, and then in an incredibly short space of time Riatt himself. Ladies Must Live Feemy, early in the evening, had danced with Ussher, and received his final instructions respecting their departure on the morrow. The Macdermots of Ballycloran Ussher had desired her to do so, and she feared to disobey him; besides, at one of these places he had to give her final instructions as to their departure. The Macdermots of Ballycloran "Well, Biddy, did you hear Captain Ussher's going away from this intirely?" The Macdermots of Ballycloran And Biddy handed in the bundle and cloak, and Ussher again drove on. The Macdermots of Ballycloran Mrs. Ussher seeing this, decided that such methods as Nancy's ought not to prevail; she seated herself on Max's other side, and instantly engaged in conversation. Ladies Must Live This lake was Loch Sheen, and it was in that cabin that Ussher had apprehended Tim Reynolds and the two other men, little more than a fortnight ago. The Macdermots of Ballycloran Ussher was at the gateway; but when he got there, he could not see Feemy. The Macdermots of Ballycloran "No, nothing's happened him; but—but Captain Ussher is dead!" The Macdermots of Ballycloran Brady, after his first surprise and awe at hearing of Ussher's death was over, spoke of it very unconcernedly, and rather as a good thing done than otherwise. The Macdermots of Ballycloran Mrs. Ussher was having a small house party in the country over New Year's Day. Ladies Must Live Ussher's black soul has gone its long journey this night with more curses on it than there are stones on these shingles. The Macdermots of Ballycloran "And that's thrue for you, Captain," said Pat, grinning in his perplexity, for he didn't know whether to take what Ussher said for a joke or not. The Macdermots of Ballycloran "But you don't think your wife's brother would join a party to murder Ussher?" The Macdermots of Ballycloran She then returned to her room, resuming her novel, and waiting with what patience she could for Ussher's coming. The Macdermots of Ballycloran Not that Mrs. Ussher was a kingmaker; she herself had no more power over the situation than the barometer has over the weather. Ladies Must Live I believe Ussher thinks," said George, "no one ran away with a girl before himself. The Macdermots of Ballycloran It was just upon his lips to tell his sister to whose folly it was owing that Myles Ussher was now a corpse; but before the words had left his mouth he checked himself. The Macdermots of Ballycloran While he was speaking, Ussher came up to the car, and began congratulating them. The Macdermots of Ballycloran As for Ussher himself, he would now have been glad if he had been able to have got rid of Feemy altogether. The Macdermots of Ballycloran During the short period of their existence, Mrs. Ussher gave to these friendships the utmost loyalty and devotion. Ladies Must Live For when Thady had first seen her, she was not going willingly with Ussher; she had then fainted, and Ussher was dragging her, apparently with violence, along the road. The Macdermots of Ballycloran It were bootless to repeat their conversation, or to tell how often it was interrupted by some unchided caress on the part of Ussher. The Macdermots of Ballycloran Ussher's arm fell from the fair girl's waist as he answered, "Never fear, dear, don't you speak to him; leave him to me." The Macdermots of Ballycloran "And every one seems to think this Captain Ussher would be a proper match for her." The Macdermots of Ballycloran Mrs. Ussher's genius consisted in having made friends with them before they were either. Ladies Must Live He did not dare to go alone down the avenue, and by the spot where Ussher's body had lain, and where the ground would still be moist with his blood. The Macdermots of Ballycloran Then he thought of Ussher, and the scene which had passed between them last night; he knew he had been drunk, and had but a very confused recollection of what he had done or said. The Macdermots of Ballycloran And as Brady's name occurred to him, he remembered Ussher's caution respecting that man, and his assurance that he was in Keegan's pay. The Macdermots of Ballycloran Ussher put his arm round her waist and kissed her; he seated her on the sofa—sat down by her—and tried to comfort her by caresses: but he still said nothing. The Macdermots of Ballycloran "I don't think it will be wise to waste time doing that," she said, "if you have to go back on foot to the Usshers'—" "Go back on foot!" Ladies Must Live "Did you hear the news about Ussher?" continued Joe without moving, and in a whisper which the old woman could not hear. The Macdermots of Ballycloran Ussher still stood up by the fireplace, with the same smile on his face. The Macdermots of Ballycloran When he got into the outer room, Ussher and Feemy were not there. The Macdermots of Ballycloran Feemy saw that her brother was intoxicated, and was frightened; she turned, though she did not take his arm, and Ussher turned too. The Macdermots of Ballycloran While he was struggling between a new-found prudence, and a natural desire to inquire further into her meaning, a door upstairs was heard to shut, and presently Laura Ussher came sauntering into the room. Ladies Must Live But he soon reflected that had this been so, Feemy could not have been sitting alone in the place where Ussher found her; besides, her own conduct when she came to herself disproved it. The Macdermots of Ballycloran Mrs. McKeon had gone so far herself as to ask him whether anything had been settled yet at Ballycloran, about Ussher, and whether he thought that the young man really intended to marry the girl. The Macdermots of Ballycloran You see Ballycloran is three miles out of this, and I couldn't always be up there when Ussher was coming. The Macdermots of Ballycloran Feemy was intent on the insults which had been offered to her lover, and her temper was somewhat soured by the remembrance that she had not effected her purpose of questioning Ussher about his intentions. The Macdermots of Ballycloran He had a letter from Laura Ussher—not the first in the series—urging him to come back at once. Ladies Must Live The dread of losing his property had come upon him, and he would not allow himself even to be seen by any one but those of his own household, and by Ussher. The Macdermots of Ballycloran On the morning of the races the two brothers and Ussher were sitting over a very late breakfast at Brown Hall. The Macdermots of Ballycloran And Ussher went round to the side of the car where Feemy was sitting, and shook hands with her and the other girls. The Macdermots of Ballycloran "You know that ruffian Ussher 'll be there; and I don't want to be meeting him." The Macdermots of Ballycloran "Max," she said, "do you remember that while we were staying at the Usshers' we composed a certain document together?" Ladies Must Live The next day, according to his promise, Ussher called, but of course at Mrs. McKeon's house he could not see her alone; that lady and her daughters were present all the time. The Macdermots of Ballycloran Moreover, Ussher, who as far as the conduct of man to man is concerned had nothing of treachery about him, strongly suspected Pat's true character, and was therefore less likely to treat him with respect. The Macdermots of Ballycloran "And what puts him in your head, Captain Ussher?" The Macdermots of Ballycloran Luckily, however, Thady declined her hospitality, and was passing through to the inner room when he was stopped by Ussher, who, as we have before said, was standing up to dance with Feemy. The Macdermots of Ballycloran When the sleigh arrived at the Usshers', if it ever did arrive, its empty shattered condition would suggest an accident. Ladies Must Live Feemy blushed up to the roots of her hair, and said, "No, we're not married yet; we're to be married in Dublin; we couldn't be married here you know, because Captain Ussher is a Protestant." The Macdermots of Ballycloran "And if it war so, Captain Ussher, what have I to do with it?" The Macdermots of Ballycloran This had gone much against the grain with him at first, because he could not but strongly feel that, in abusing Ussher, they were equally reproaching Feemy. The Macdermots of Ballycloran Feemy was sobbing, and on Ussher offering her his arm to take her from the crowd, took it. The Macdermots of Ballycloran The Usshers were at that moment probably searching for them in ditches, and hedges. Ladies Must Live Brady proved that his master had confessed to him that it was he who had killed Ussher, and that he had said that when he did so his sister was in Ussher's arms. The Macdermots of Ballycloran Though Ussher loved Feemy, perhaps as well as he was ever likely to love any woman, circumstances might easily have induced him to give her up. The Macdermots of Ballycloran "Oh, no, Mary,—you're the bride you know; Captain Ussher must dance with you first." The Macdermots of Ballycloran "Do you mean to say, Captain Ussher, that I have conspired to murdher you?" The Macdermots of Ballycloran He sat up for the remainder of the night, in the hope that some sudden call might come, and at six o'clock as Ussher had told Christine, he was ready for new efforts. Ladies Must Live "Where was she when Captain Ussher was killed?" The Macdermots of Ballycloran "Didn't I tell ye, Joe, he hates Ussher a d——d sight worse nor you or I; there's little need to say anything to him about that." The Macdermots of Ballycloran We're all likely to be deceived in people, and why mayn't we be as well deceived in Captain Ussher, as others have been in those they loved as well? The Macdermots of Ballycloran "Well, Thady, now what was it you were wanting of me?"—and then after a pause, she added, her courage rising as she saw her brother's falling: "Was it anything about Captain Ussher?" The Macdermots of Ballycloran Rescued and rescuers reached the Usshers' house about half past ten the following morning. Ladies Must Live "When Captain Ussher lifted her up, was she going away willingly with him?" The Macdermots of Ballycloran By the by, then, Cullen, you must take to a tea-cup like myself—you're used to it; and Captain Ussher, you must take brown sugar in your punch, though you are not used to it. The Macdermots of Ballycloran Well, now, Thady, is that all? and you're wrong then, as you always are, for Captain Ussher has asked me to have him, just as plain as I'm telling you now; and he's no ruffian. The Macdermots of Ballycloran He had put his pipe down when first Captain Ussher left the room, and he had not resumed it, now even that he was alone. The Macdermots of Ballycloran Yes," said Ussher, "I should think he would want to go home and take some care of himself. Ladies Must Live It appeared to them that Ussher was not using any violence to the young lady, who had herself admitted in her evidence, that she was a willing party to Ussher's proceedings. The Macdermots of Ballycloran "Thank you, Captain Ussher, I'll not be going out of this just yet." The Macdermots of Ballycloran "Oh! if you mean Captain Ussher, he told me Pat asked him himself, and he'd sure be there." The Macdermots of Ballycloran "She was sitting down till Captain Ussher lifted her up." The Macdermots of Ballycloran A man named Cogan, who had acted very successfully as a spy to Ussher, also offered his services to the new officer, by whom they were accepted. The Macdermots of Ballycloran It will be remembered that Pat Brady was commissioned by his master to take Ussher's body to the police station at Carrick, in Fred Brown's gig. The Macdermots of Ballycloran "Go in to her, Biddy, she'll want you; Captain Ussher is dead," and he went into his father's room. The Macdermots of Ballycloran "Come further; I don't want him to hear what I've to say to you;" and he walked on some little way before he continued,—"you were wishing just now that you had shed Ussher's blood?" The Macdermots of Ballycloran Thady was at length persuaded to allow Ussher to go to the stables for his horse, and the Captain, after what had passed, did not now wish to go into the house. The Macdermots of Ballycloran Ussher looked very hard at Thady's face, but it was much too dark for him to see anything that was there. The Macdermots of Ballycloran She began to fear that Ussher, before his death, had accomplished the poor girl's ruin, and that she was now in the family way. The Macdermots of Ballycloran Though Captain Ussher affected to set no value on McGovery's tale, he nevertheless thought that there might be something in it. The Macdermots of Ballycloran Though in many respects a bad man, Ussher was very vigilant in the performance of his official duties, and, as has been before said, was possessed of sufficient courage. The Macdermots of Ballycloran "Never mind," said Ussher; "and if you always take care of your wife the same way, my good fellow, you'll be sure she'll not come to any harm, for want of looking after." The Macdermots of Ballycloran Ussher was now dancing with Feemy, and the fun had become universal and incessant; there were ten or twelve couple dancing on the earthen floor of Mrs. Mehan's shop. The Macdermots of Ballycloran "Did you ever hear Captain Ussher's name mentioned there?" The Macdermots of Ballycloran The old man always brightened up a little when Ussher came in. The Macdermots of Ballycloran I don't know why you should come to me, Captain Ussher, to ask such questions. The Macdermots of Ballycloran "How are you this evening, Sir?" said Ussher, "this fine night." The Macdermots of Ballycloran In vain Ussher endeavoured to make him believe that his son had not conspired against him, to deprive him of his property. The Macdermots of Ballycloran "But the prisoner agreed to join them in any plan, or in some plan for ridding the country of Captain Ussher?" The Macdermots of Ballycloran When Ussher had first entered, Brady had come up, expressly to welcome him; and there was something in his extreme servility which made Ussher fear all was not quite right.
