two o'clock
`` Obstinate puppy ! '' said Barry to himself -- `` if he 'd had the least pluck in life he 'd have broken the will , or at least made the girl out a lunatic . But a Connaught lawyer has n't half the wit or courage now that he used to have . '' However , he wrote a note to Daly , agreeing to his proposal , and promising to be in Tuam at two o'clock on the Wednesday . On the following day Daly saw Moylan , and had a long conversation with him . The old man held out for a long time , expressing much indignation at being supposed capable of joining in any underhand agreement for transferring Miss Lynch 's property to his relatives the Kellys , and declaring that he would make public to every one in Dunmore and Tuam the base manner in which Barry Lynch was treating his sister . Indeed , Moylan kept to his story so long and so firmly that the young attorney was nearly giving him up ; but at last he found his weak side .
