Danny She stud in his way, and he had my heart and sowl in his keeping.
Father T Hardress?
Danny Hisself! I said I’d do it for him, if he’d give me the token.
Father T Did Hardress employ you to kill the girl?
Danny He sent me the glove; that was to be the token that I was to put her away, and I did—I—in the Pool a Dhiol. She would not gi’ me the marriage lines; I threw her in and then I was kilt.
Father T Killed! by whose hand?
Danny I don’t know, unless it was the hand of heaven.
