Still
greater
the
attorney
's
astonishment
on
learning
the
cause
of
his
incarceration
.
"
Fwhat
!
the
son
of
a
Munsther
Gerald
accused
of
murdher
!
The
heir
of
Castle
Ballagh
,
wid
its
bewtiful
park
and
demesne
.
Fwy
,
I
've
got
the
papers
in
my
portmantyee
here
.
Faugh-a-ballagh
!
Show
me
the
way
to
him
!
"
Though
the
"
Texan
"
Boniface
was
inclined
to
consider
his
recently
arrived
guest
entitled
to
a
suspicion
of
lunacy
,
he
assented
to
his
request
;
and
furnished
him
with
a
guide
to
the
guard-house
.
If
the
Irish
attorney
was
mad
,
there
appeared
to
be
method
in
his
madness
.
Instead
of
being
denied
admittance
to
the
accused
criminal
,
he
was
made
welcome
to
go
in
and
out
of
the
military
prison
--
as
often
as
it
seemed
good
to
him
.
Some
document
he
had
laid
before
the
eyes
of
the
major-commandant
,
had
procured
him
this
privilege
;
at
the
same
time
placing
him
en
rapport
,
in
a
friendly
way
,
with
the
Texan
"
counsellor
.
"
The
advent
of
the
Irish
attorney
at
such
a
crisis
gave
rise
to
much
speculation
at
the
Port
,
the
village
,
and
throughout
the
settlement
.
The
bar-room
of
the
"
Rough
and
Ready
"
was
rife
with
conjecturers
--
quidnuncs
they
could
scarcely
be
called
:
since
in
Texas
the
genus
does
not
exist
.
A
certain
grotesqueness
about
the
man
added
to
the
national
instinct
for
guessing
--
which
had
been
rendered
excruciatingly
keen
through
some
revelations
,
contributed
by
"
Old
Duffer
.
"
For
all
that
,
the
transatlantic
limb
of
the
law
proved
himself
tolerably
true
to
the
traditions
of
his
craft
With
the
exception
of
the
trifling
imprudences
already
detailed
--
drawn
from
him
in
the
first
moments
of
surprise
--
he
never
afterwards
committed
himself
;
but
kept
his
lips
close
as
an
oyster
at
ebb
tide
.
There
was
not
much
time
for
him
to
use
his
tongue
.
On
the
day
after
his
arrival
the
trial
was
to
take
place
;
and
during
most
of
the
interval
he
was
either
in
the
guard-house
along
with
the
prisoner
,
or
closeted
with
the
San
Antonio
counsel
.
