two o'clock
`` Ah , now , Mr Moylan , none of your fun : this piece of iniquity of theirs , I say ; for I can call it no less . If they once knew that you would n't help 'em , they 'd be obliged to drop it all ; the matter 'd never have to go into court at all , and you 'd jist step into the agency fair and aisy ; and , into the bargain , you 'd do nothing but an honest man 's work . '' The old man broke down , and consented to `` go agin the Kellys , '' as he somewhat ambiguously styled his apostasy , provided the agency was absolutely promised to him ; and he went away with the understanding that he was to come on the following day and meet Mr Lynch . At two o'clock , punctual to the time of his appointment , Moylan was there , and was kept waiting an hour in Daly 's little parlour . At the end of this time Barry came in , having invigorated his courage and spirits with a couple of glasses of brandy . Daly had been for some time on the look-out for him , for he wished to say a few words to him in private , and give him his cue before he took him into the room where Moylan was sitting . This could not well be done in the office , for it was crowded .
