Danny [At back—aside.] The divil! they’re at it—an’ I’m too late!
Anne I can not believe this—show me your certificate.
Eily Here it is.
Danny [Advances between them.] Didn’t you swear to the priest that it should niver lave your breast?
Anne Oh! you’re the boatman.
Danny Iss, ma’am!
Anne Eily, forgive me for doubting your goodness, and your purity. I believe you. Let me take your hand. [Crosses to her.] While the heart of Anne Chute beats, you have a friend that won’t be spoiled off, but you have no longer a rival, mind that. All I ask of you is that you will never mention this visit to Mr. Daly—and for you [To Danny.] this will purchase your silence. [Gives money.] Good-by!
[Exit Anne, L. U. E.
Danny Long life t’ye. [Aside.] What does it mane? Hasn’t she found me out?
Eily Why did she ask me never to spake to Mr. Daly of her visit here? Sure I don’t know any Mr. Daly.
