I read the long lists of uncontinental names over and over, but I lingered not at all upon those like "Muriel," "Hermione," "Violet," and "Sibyl," nor over "Balthurst," "Skeffington-Sligo," and "Covering-Legge"; no, my search was for the Sadies and Mamies, the Thompsons, Van Dusens, and Bradys. In that lies my preposterous secret.
Do you think the Bradys would let you kill fifteen hundred a year out of the family? And then Fagan further told me that, in order to get me out of the way for the cowardly Englishman could never be brought to marry from fear of me the plan of the duel had been arranged.
'And did the Bradys of Castle Brady consent to admit a poltroon like that into one of the most ancient and honourable families in the world? 'He has paid off your uncle's mortgage, said Fagan; 'he gives Nora a coach-and-six; he is to sell out, and Lieutenant Ulick Brady of the Militia is to purchase his company. That coward of a fellow has been the making of your uncle's family.
In the churchyard there were two more names put into the stone over the family vault of the Bradys: they were those of my cousin, for whom my regard was small, and my uncle, whom I had always loved.
