'Am I, my dear aunt? said Grace. 'True, as I'm Lady Clonbrony and a very great heiress and no more Colambre's cousin than Lady Berryl here. So now begin and love him as fast as you please I give my consent and here he is. Lady Clonbrony turned to her son, who just appeared at the door. 'Oh, mother! what have you done?
When Grace came to herself, she first saw Lady Berryl leaning over her, and, raising herself a little, she said 'What has happened? I don't know yet I don't know whether I am happy or not. Then seeing Lord Colambre, she sat quite upright. 'You received my letter, cousin, I hope? Do you go to Ireland with my aunt?
But I flatter myself you will feel, when I tell you, that it is your friend, Sir Arthur Berryl, as I always prophesied, who has carried off the prize from you.
"Give me leave, my lord," said Mordicai "I beg your pardon, my lord; perhaps we can compromise that business for your friend Mr. Berryl; since he is your lordship's friend, perhaps we can contrive to compromise and split the difference."
'What have I done? cried Lady Clonbrony, following her son's eyes: 'Lord bless me! Grace fainted dead lady Berryl? Oh, what have I done? My dear Lady Berryl, what shall we do? 'There! her colour's coming again, said Lord Clonbrony; 'come away, my dear Lady Clonbrony, for the present, and so will I though I long to talk to the darling girl myself; but she is not equal to it yet.
"If you go on you will make me envious and jealous of my friend," said Lord Colambre. "You jealous! Oh, it is too late now besides, you cannot be jealous, for you never loved." "I never loved Miss Broadhurst, I acknowledge." "There was the advantage Sir Arthur Berryl had over you he loved, and my friend saw it." "She was clear-sighted," said Lord Colambre.
Mordicai, recovering, but not clearly recovering, his intellects: "I beg pardon, but I did not know you was Lord Colambre I thought you told me you was the friend of Mr. Berryl." "I do not see the incompatibility of the assertion, sir," replied Lord Colambre, taking from the bewildered foreman's unresisting hand the account which he had been so long furnishing.
