But
Kathleen
gathered
in
her
skirt
and
said
:
"
Now
.
Mr.
Bell
,
"
to
the
first
item
,
who
was
shaking
like
an
aspen
.
The
singer
and
the
accompanist
went
out
together
.
The
noise
in
hall
died
away
.
There
was
a
pause
of
a
few
seconds
:
and
then
the
piano
was
heard
.
The
first
part
of
the
concert
was
very
successful
except
for
Madam
Glynn
's
item
.
The
poor
lady
sang
Killarney
in
a
bodiless
gasping
voice
,
with
all
the
old-fashioned
mannerisms
of
intonation
and
pronunciation
which
she
believed
lent
elegance
to
her
singing
.
She
looked
as
if
she
had
been
resurrected
from
an
old
stage-wardrobe
and
the
cheaper
parts
of
the
hall
made
fun
of
her
high
wailing
notes
.
The
first
tenor
and
the
contralto
,
however
,
brought
down
the
house
.
Kathleen
played
a
selection
of
Irish
airs
which
was
generously
applauded
.
The
first
part
closed
with
a
stirring
patriotic
recitation
delivered
by
a
young
lady
who
arranged
amateur
theatricals
.
It
was
deservedly
applauded
;
and
,
when
it
was
ended
,
the
men
went
out
for
the
interval
,
content
.
All
this
time
the
dressing-room
was
a
hive
of
excitement
.
In
one
corner
were
Mr.
Holohan
,
Mr.
Fitzpatrick
,
Miss
Beirne
,
two
of
the
stewards
,
the
baritone
,
the
bass
,
and
Mr.
O'Madden
Burke
.
Mr.
O'Madden
Burke
said
it
was
the
most
scandalous
exhibition
he
had
ever
witnessed
.
Miss
Kathleen
Kearney
's
musical
career
was
ended
in
Dublin
after
that
,
he
said
.
The
baritone
was
asked
what
did
he
think
of
Mrs.
Kearney
's
conduct
.
He
did
not
like
to
say
anything
.
He
had
been
paid
his
money
and
wished
to
be
at
peace
with
men
.
However
,
he
said
that
Mrs.
Kearney
might
have
taken
the
artistes
into
consideration
.
The
stewards
and
the
secretaries
debated
hotly
as
to
what
should
be
done
when
the
interval
came
.
"
I
agree
with
Miss
Beirne
,
"
said
Mr.
O'Madden
Burke
.
"
Pay
her
nothing
.
"
In
another
corner
of
the
room
were
Mrs.
Kearney
and
he
:
husband
,
Mr.
Bell
,
Miss
Healy
and
the
young
lady
who
had
to
recite
the
patriotic
piece
.
Mrs.
Kearney
said
that
the
Committee
had
treated
her
scandalously
.
She
had
spared
neither
trouble
nor
expense
and
this
was
how
she
was
repaid
.
They
thought
they
had
only
a
girl
to
deal
with
and
that
therefore
,
they
could
ride
roughshod
over
her
.
But
she
would
show
them
their
mistake
.
They
would
n't
have
dared
to
have
treated
her
like
that
if
she
had
been
a
man
.
But
she
would
see
that
her
daughter
got
her
rights
:
she
would
n't
be
fooled
.
If
they
did
n't
pay
her
to
the
last
farthing
she
would
make
Dublin
ring
.
Of
course
she
was
sorry
for
the
sake
of
the
artistes
.
But
what
else
could
she
do
?
She
appealed
to
the
second
tenor
who
said
he
thought
she
had
not
been
well
treated
.
Then
she
appealed
to
Miss
Healy
.
Miss
Healy
wanted
to
join
the
other
group
but
she
did
not
like
to
do
so
because
she
was
a
great
friend
of
Kathleen
's
and
the
Kearneys
had
often
invited
her
to
their
house
.
As
soon
as
the
first
part
was
ended
Mr.
Fitzpatrick
and
Mr.
Holohan
went
over
to
Mrs.
Kearney
and
told
her
that
the
other
four
guineas
would
be
paid
after
the
committee
meeting
on
the
following
Tuesday
and
that
,
in
case
her
daughter
did
not
play
for
the
second
part
,
the
committee
would
consider
the
contract
broken
and
would
pay
nothing
.
"
I
have
n't
seen
any
committee
,
"
said
Mrs.
Kearney
angrily
.
"
My
daughter
has
her
contract
.
She
will
get
four
pounds
eight
into
her
hand
or
a
foot
she
wo
n't
put
on
that
platform
.
"
