"And you, Brian?" he said, halting on the lower step to light a
cigarette. "What shall I tell John?"
"Tell him all," said Brian. He talked hurriedly of his plans.
Kenny held out his hand.
"God speed, boy!" he said.
Garry--unsentimental Garry--blinked as the car shot down the lane. He
clashed his gears and shuddered.
Brian stared.
"Phew!" he whistled as Joan came down the steps. "Garry's driving like
a blacksmith."
They clung to each other in the dark and watched the headlights play
upon the trees.
From the end of the lane came Kenny's final gift of reassurance. His
rollicking voice swept into the quiet, soft with brogue, as care-free
in song as it had been earlier in laughter:
"'I'll love thee evermore
Eileen a roon!
I'll bless thee o'er and o'er
Eileen a roon!'"
Brian laughed softly.
"Joan! Joan!" he exclaimed in a rush of feeling. Their lips met.
"'Oh! for thy sake I'll tread
Where plains of Mayo spread.'"
Brian's heart went out to the irresponsible penitent rocketing in song.
"Dear lunatic!" he said.
Fainter in the night wind came the end of Kenny's song:
"'By hope still fondly led,
Eileen a roon.'"
