Thus ended the great rebellion. It is spoken of to this day as the
greatest and most conspicuous event in the school's history. For, after
all, the governors were lenient, and no girl was expelled. Kathleen, as
years went on, became far and away the most popular girl in the school.
Her talents were of the most brilliant order; her very faults seemed in
one way to add to her charms. In one sense she was always a more or less
troublesome girl; but where she loved she loved deeply, and from that
hour she gave up all thought of rebellion either against the governors
or against Miss Ravenscroft. Ruth was Kathleen's greatest friend. Her
grandfather got better; his heart was never broken by the knowledge of
that terrible disgrace which the child so feared that she would bring
him. Mrs. Church became one of the Irish alms-women, and grumbled a good
deal at the change in her position. Mrs. Hopkins's debt was cleared off;
and all the characters in this story did well, and were proud to admit
that they owed most of their future prosperity to the Wild Irish Girl,
Kathleen O'Hara.
THE END.
