maybe someone pushed him. Is that it? Oh, come on, Darren. I'm not saying anything of the kind, Quinn protested, But you must admit that he's been drunk lots of times and he's never fallen before. Lynch nodded. Certainly has been drunk dozens of times. I agree. So what about it? He's just been lucky, that's all. But this time was different. Different, repeated or work In what way? Different. Lynch said nothing for a while, but just looked at everyone. His luck ran out, he said. Simple is that There's one odd thing, though, said Quinn. That pathway is nowhere near the edges. It O'Rourke nodded. It's a quick 10 15 feet away, he said. Why? So how come you were so close to the edge when he fell? Quinn asked. Lynch shook his head. Who knows? He replied. With my leg in anything was possible. He probably never realized where he was. He probably never stayed on the path in his state. He could have been all over the place. So Mr Lynch, are you saying that Mulligan died as a result of a simple, tragic accident? Asked Molly, wiping the tears from her eyes. Lynch shook his head. I'm not saying that, miss, although it does look that way. I mean, what other explanation could there be? He replied. But more to the point, it's what the guard are saying. Constable Donovan has looked at the evidence, and that's his conclusion. He paused and took a drink. He turned to face the others, and I have no reason to doubt what they say. So what are the police saying? As Kendall, an accident, replied O Rourke. Mulligan was the worst for where? The old drink, you know, he got too close to the edge, slipped and well there. Er, the poor old man fell and broke. His neck, broke his neck, repeated Kendall. Were there any other injuries? There were no other injuries, replied Lynch. No cuts or bruises. Ask Kendall. No, nothing like that, said Lynch. As I said, just a broken neck. Kendall heaved a sigh. Strange, wouldn't you say? Lynch shook his head, clearly becoming impatient. Strange, he repeated. What's so strange? He falls what, 50 feet on the rocks below its near 40. Sir, Quinn interrupted. All right, so it's only 40 feet. Kendall agreed. Even so, it's still a long way wouldn't you say? Quinn nodded in agreement and no other injuries continued. Kendall. I would have expected a few cuts, bruise or two, wouldn't you? Well, you might be right, said Lynch, but there were no other injuries. Kendall was far from convinced and vowed to pay a visit to the scene at the earliest opportunity. Who found him? He asked. Holdout was Vincent Vincent Movie, replied a work. His hot Mulligan was drunk and was just sleeping it off. Kendall took a deep breath. Well, with all due respect to the local Garda into Constable Donovan, it all seems a bit too quick, in my opinion, to come to a definite conclusion, he said. Certainly from the few times I've met Mr Mulligan, it's clear that he likes a drop of drink. I he did that settle work, but he could hold his liquor. He certainly could, agreed Quinn. Sure, he got drunk time and time again, but I've never known him to fall. Suddenly, O. Rourke started to laugh. There was the time, a few years back when he got drunk and broke the window. Remember, he pointed over to the window. I remember, said Quinn, but he didn't really fall, Did he? He tripped on your worn carpet, man. He certainly stumbled in here last night, remember? Just as he was leaving, Said Lynch. So what do you say to that? Quinn shook his head. Maybe there was other reasons for him to stumble. He replied. Maybe he just lost his balance. Or maybe he just tripped. Suggested Mulvey. Lynch nodded. Maybe so he reluctantly agreed. But that was here in the bar, wasn't it? No one saw him after that today, so no one else knows whether he stumbled or not. All we know is that his body was found at the bottom of Fenster Rock and his neck was broken. That's good enough for me. He fell a sad accident. I admit I'm sorry for the poor old fella. He was a character and no mistake. But there it is. He paused and took a drink. No amount of talking is going to change that now, is it? He was drunk and he tripped. And well, these things happen. Maybe so said Quinn. Whatever. He'll be missed around here. He will that that sort of work. He was certainly a great character. Kendall shook his head You know, Mr Lynch, you might be right. Officer Donovan might be right. He said maybe Mulligan had just one too many last night. Maybe more than usual, maybe was unable to stand properly. And maybe he did stumble, and maybe he did trip and fall. He drained his glass and slid it towards a Rourke for a refill. I said, maybe heaved a sigh, but maybe it didn't happen that way.
