It is unnecessary to detail their conversation, which was sustained by the _Cooleen Bawn_ with bitter tears.

He felt shocked beyond belief, and assured the weeping girl that he would call the next day and disclose the treacherous design to her father, who, he said, could not possibly have been aware of the wretch's character when he admitted her into his family.
