"But, dear sir, how you have worked yourself up into a passion against Lady Annaly for nothing." "It's not for nothing I've good rason to dislike the woman. What business had she, because she's an old woman and you a young man, to set up preaching to you about your faults? I hate prachers, feminine gender, especially." "She is no preacher, I assure you, sir."
Sir Ulick opened the ball himself with Miss Annaly, after making as handsome an apology for his son as the case would admit an apology which was received by the young lady with the most graceful good-nature.
M'Crule did not find it difficult to stir up the prejudices and passions of several ladies, whose education and whose means of information might have secured them from such contemptible influence. Her present business at Annaly was to try what impression she could make on Lady and Miss Annaly, who were both patronesses of the school.
Many years afterward, an old man, Jack Fitzimmons, one of the directors of the sports and keeper of the ball-court at Ballymahon, used to boast of having been schoolmate of "Noll Goldsmith," as he called him, and would dwell with vainglory on one of their exploits, in robbing the orchard of Tirlicken, an old family residence of Lord Annaly.

"Why did I set off in such haste for Paris? Could not I have waited a day? Could not I have written again?
But is it possible that Miss Annaly, such an amiable and elegant young lady as she is described to be, should feel any attachment, any predilection for such a young man as Ormond; ill-educated, unpolished, with a violent temper, which had brought him early into life into the dreadful situation in which he now stands?
Miss Annaly, are not you afraid of staying out? Lady O'Shane, why do you keep Miss Annaly? Let supper go up directly." "Supper! ay, every thing goes on as usual," said Ormond, "and I " "I must follow them in, and see how things are going on, and prevent gossiping, for your sake, my boy," resumed Sir Ulick, after a moment's pause. "You have got into an ugly scrape.
It is scarcely necessary to say that this invitation was eagerly accepted. Upon his arrival at Annaly, Ormond found that Dr. Cambray and all his family were there. "Yes, all your friends," said Lady Annaly, as Ormond looked round with pleasure, "all your friends, Mr.
