6/28 Mr.Tempest, who was a man of wide experience and kindly heart, sympathised with Mr. He knew of no place in Ireland further from Dublin than Ballymoy is; and it appeared to him above all things desirable to keep Mr.Simpkins at a distance. It was better, in his opinion, that Ballymoy should suffer, than that his own house should be haunted on Sundays and his office disorganised on week-days by Mr.Simpkins. He acknowledged the receipt of the Ballymoy petition, and promised, mendaciously, to consider the matter. He left a card there, and then walked on to the office. |
