     Everyone gathered around and Paddy read out loud, slowly, his tone growing sadder and sadder. The little
headline said: BOXER RECEIVES LIFE SENTENCE.
     Frank Cleary, aged 26, professional boxer, was today found guilty o f the murder of Albert Cumming,
aged 32, laborer, last July. The jury (陪审团) reached its decision after only ten minutes, recommending the
most severe punishment the court could give out. It was, said the judge, a simple case. Cumming and Cleary
had quarreled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the
unconscious Cumming. When arrested Cleary was drunk but clear thinking...
     Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour. Asked i f he had anything to say, Cleary
answered, "Just don't tell my mother."
     "It happened over three years ago," Paddy said helplessly. No one answered him or moved, for no one
knew what to do. "Just don't tell my mother," said Fee numbly. "And no one did! Oh, God! My poor, poor
Frank!"
     Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said. "Fee dear, pack your things. We'll go to see him."
     She half-rose before sinking back, her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead. "I can't go," she said
without a hint of pain, yet making everyone feel that the pain was there "It would kill him to see me. I know
him so well-his pride, his ambition. Let him bear the shame alone, "it's what he wants. We've got to help him
keep his secret. What good will it do him to see us?"
     Paddy was still weeping, but not for Frank; for the life which had gone from Fee's face, for the dying in
her eyes. Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune, always stood between Fee and himself. He was
the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children. Every time it looked as if there might
be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away. But Paddy's love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as
hers was for Frank.
     So he said, "Well, Fee, we won't go. But we must make sure he is taken care of. How about if I write to
Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank?"
     The eyes didn't liven, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks. "Yes, Paddy, do that Only make sure he knows
not to tell Frank we found out. Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don't know."
