No
,
no
!
"
said
Mr.
Browne
.
"
But
,
however
that
may
be
,
I
can
only
ask
you
tonight
to
take
the
will
for
the
deed
and
to
lend
me
your
attention
for
a
few
moments
while
I
endeavour
to
express
to
you
in
words
what
my
feelings
are
on
this
occasion
.
"
Ladies
and
Gentlemen
,
it
is
not
the
first
time
that
we
have
gathered
together
under
this
hospitable
roof
,
around
this
hospitable
board
.
It
is
not
the
first
time
that
we
have
been
the
recipients
--
or
perhaps
,
I
had
better
say
,
the
victims
--
of
the
hospitality
of
certain
good
ladies
.

He
made
a
circle
in
the
air
with
his
arm
and
paused
.
Everyone
laughed
or
smiled
at
Aunt
Kate
and
Aunt
Julia
and
Mary
Jane
who
all
turned
crimson
with
pleasure
.
Gabriel
went
on
more
boldly
:
"
I
feel
more
strongly
with
every
recurring
year
that
our
country
has
no
tradition
which
does
it
so
much
honour
and
which
it
should
guard
so
jealously
as
that
of
its
hospitality
.
It
is
a
tradition
that
is
unique
as
far
as
my
experience
goes
(
and
I
have
visited
not
a
few
places
abroad
)
among
the
modern
nations
.
Some
would
say
,
perhaps
,
that
with
us
it
is
rather
a
failing
than
anything
to
be
boasted
of
.
But
granted
even
that
,
it
is
,
to
my
mind
,
a
princely
failing
,
and
one
that
I
trust
will
long
be
cultivated
among
us
.
Of
one
thing
,
at
least
,
I
am
sure
.
As
long
as
this
one
roof
shelters
the
good
ladies
aforesaid
--
and
I
wish
from
my
heart
it
may
do
so
for
many
and
many
a
long
year
to
come
--
the
tradition
of
genuine
warm-hearted
courteous
Irish
hospitality
,
which
our
forefathers
have
handed
down
to
us
and
which
we
in
turn
must
hand
down
to
our
descendants
,
is
still
alive
among
us
.
"
A
hearty
murmur
of
assent
ran
round
the
table
.
It
shot
through
Gabriel
's
mind
that
Miss
Ivors
was
not
there
and
that
she
had
gone
away
discourteously
:
and
he
said
with
confidence
in
himself

"
Ladies
and
Gentlemen
,
"
A
new
generation
is
growing
up
in
our
midst
,
a
generation
actuated
by
new
ideas
and
new
principles
.
It
is
serious
and
enthusiastic
for
these
new
ideas
and
its
enthusiasm
,
even
when
it
is
misdirected
,
is
,
I
believe
,
in
the
main
sincere
.
But
we
are
living
in
a
sceptical
and
,
if
I
may
use
the
phrase
,
a
thought-tormented
age
:
and
sometimes
I
fear
that
this
new
generation
,
educated
or
hypereducated
as
it
is
,
will
lack
those
qualities
of
humanity
,
of
hospitality
,
of
kindly
humour
which
belonged
to
an
older
day
.
Listening
tonight
to
the
names
of
all
those
great
singers
of
the
past
it
seemed
to
me
,
I
must
confess
,
that
we
were
living
in
a
less
spacious
age
.
Those
days
might
,
without
exaggeration
,
be
called
spacious
days
:
and
if
they
are
gone
beyond
recall
let
us
hope
,
at
least
,
that
in
gatherings
such
as
this
we
shall
still
speak
of
them
with
pride
and
affection
,
still
cherish
in
our
hearts
the
memory
of
those
dead
and
gone
great
ones
whose
fame
the
world
will
not
willingly
let
die
.
