"Very well," said the parson, "then we may as well go away, and leave you to your fate. Come, Lord Ballindine, we can have nothing further to say," and they again all rose from their seats. "Stop, Mr Armstrong; stop," said Barry. "Well," said the parson; for Barry repressed the words which were in his mouth, when he found that his visitors did stop as he desired them.
If such be not the case, surely prudence need not further interfere to prevent a marriage desired by both the persons most concerned. Lord Ballindine is not now a spendthrift, whatever he may formerly have been; and Miss Wyndham's princely fortune, though it alone would never have induced my friend to seek her hand, will make the match all that it should be.
"I'll tell you what, Doctor Colligan," said Frank; "do you get into your own gig, and follow us on, and I'll talk the matter over with Mr Armstrong." The doctor again returned to his buggy, and the parson to his own seat, and Lord Ballindine drove off at a pace which made it difficult enough for Doctor Colligan to keep him in sight.
Nor will I submit to whatever fate cold, unfeeling people may doom me, merely because I am a woman and alone. I will not give up Lord Ballindine, if I have to walk to his door and tell him so. And were I to do so, I should never think that I had forgotten myself." "Listen to me, Fanny," said Selina. "Wait a moment," continued Fanny, "I have listened enough: it is my turn to speak now.
"You never authorised so harsh a message, you would say. It is not the harshness of the language, but the certainty of the fact, that has destroyed my friend's happiness. If such were to be the case if it were absolutely necessary that the engagement between you and Lord Ballindine should be broken off, the more decided the manner in which it were done, the better.
If he once had Fanny Wyndham installed as Lady Ballindine, at Kelly's Court, he was sure he could do his duty as a country gentleman, and live on his income, be it what it might, not only without grumbling, but without wishing for anything more.
I'll back Kilcullen to marry her against Ballindine for a hundred pounds." "Done," said Mat; and the bet was booked. The same evening, Tierney wrote to Dot Blake, and said in a postscript, "I know you care for Ballindine; so do I, but I don't write to him. If he really wants to secure his turtle-dove, he should see that she doesn't get bagged in his absence.
I always make up my mind that I'll never turn out another season, and it'll be true for me this year. I'm hunting over sixty years, Ballindine, in these three counties. I ought to have had enough of it by this time, you'll say." "I'll bet you ten pounds," said Bingham Blake, "that you hunt after eighty." "Done with you Bingham," said the General, and the bet was booked.
"He seemed to wish she should marry Lord Ballindine." "She may marry whom she pleases, now," said the earl. "I wash my hands of her. I have done my best to prevent what I thought a disgraceful match for her " "It would not have been disgraceful, papa, had she married him six months ago."
After mature consideration, Miss Wyndham commissioned me to express her sentiments, and I must say they fully coincided with my own, to Lord Ballindine, and to explain to him, that she found herself obliged to to to retrace the steps which she had taken in the matter. I did this in a manner as little painful to Lord Ballindine as I was able.
