I lost all fear of her: I stepped close up to the place at which she was standing; I cried out: "Of what, in God's name, do you accuse your sister?" She answered: "I accuse her of poisoning Philip Dunboyne." I ran out of the room; I rushed headlong down the stairs. The doctor heard me, and came running into the hall. I caught hold of him like a madwoman. "Euneece!"
The same day's post brought me both letters. I should be unworthy indeed of the trust which this affectionate girl has placed in me, if I failed to receive her explanation of her conduct toward Philip Dunboyne, as a sacred secret confided to my fatherly regard.
"If you will take my advice," I said, "you will not inquire too closely into my opinion of Mr. Philip Dunboyne." "Perhaps you don't wish me to say anymore?" she suggested. "On the contrary, pray go on, if you like." After that concession, she was amiability itself. "Oh, yes," she assured me, "that's easily done."
Dunboyne went when he left us?" "I know where he was, miss, half an hour ago." "Where was he?" "At the hotel." Selina went on with her hints in the same way as before. "How does she know ah, how does she know?" was the vocal part of the performance this time. My clever inquiries followed the vocal part as before: "How do you know that Mr. Dunboyne was at the hotel?"
My object was to recall that base young man to his duty to my dear charming injured Euneece. The hotel servant told me that Mr. Dunboyne had gone out. Oh, I had the means of persuasion in my pocket! The man directed me to the park, as he had already directed Mr. Dunboyne. It was only when I had found the place, that I heard some one behind me.
It is carefully sealed it feels no bigger than an ordinary letter and it contains an inscription which your highly-cultivated intelligence may be able to explain. I copy it as follows: "To be inclosed in another envelope, addressed to Mr. Dunboyne the elder, at Percy's Private Hotel, London, and delivered by a trustworthy messenger, on the day when Mr.
The Catholics sent to London as their representatives, Lords Gormanston and Dunboyne, Sir James Gough and Sir Christopher Plunkett, William Talbot and Edward FitzHarris, and a general levy was made throughout the kingdom to raise money to pay their expenses. A great deal of time was wasted in inquiries in London and in Ireland.
She stopped on her way out, and delivered her parting words: "Messieurs Dunboyne, father and son, I keep my temper, and merely regard you as a couple of blackguards." With that pretty assertion of her opinion, she left us. When we were alone, there was but one course to take; I made my confession.
The terrible choice of responsibilities which had preyed on the Minister's mind had been foreseen by Mr. Dunboyne, when he first thought of adopting his infant niece, and had warned him to dread what might happen in the future, if he brought her up as a member of the family with his own boy, and if the two young people became at a later period attached to each other.
She laughed at me. I said again: "Who is he?" She said: "He is young Mr. Dunboyne." I said: "Does he live in London?" She laughed again. I said again: "Does he live in London?" She said: "He is here for a holiday; he lives with his father at Fairmount, in Ireland." Young Mr. Dunboyne here for a holiday lives with his father at Fairmount, in Ireland. I have said that to myself fifty times over.
