His radiant dreams of a rancher's life tumbled about his big unfortunate head, and, for the moment, left him staggered. His first visit was to the barn, where Kid Blaney, his brother's ranchman, was rubbing down two well saddle-marked cow-ponies, after his morning out on the fences.
What is his lordship's name who is on board? 'He won't tell us, replied Mrs. Lascelles; 'but I think I know; it is Lord Blarney. 'Lord Blaney, you mean, I presume, said Miss Ossulton; 'however, the thing is carried too far. Cecilia, we will go on shore at Torquay, and wait till the yacht returns with Lord B. I don't like these jokes; they may do very well for widows, and people of no rank.
