Harry Lorrequer, Esq. Kilrush try Carrigaholt." So ran the superscription the first part being in a lady's handwriting; the latter very like the "rustic paling" of the worthy Mrs. Healy's style. The seal was a large one, bearing a coronet at top, and the motto in old Norman French, told me it came from Callonby.
The king rose half pettishly, observing that "Son Excellence a apparement perdu la tete," and I rushed forward to shake hands with Lord Callonby, totally forgetting the royal censure in my delight at discovering my friend. "Lorrequer, I am indeed rejoiced to see you, and when did you arrive." "This evening."
"I don't see why we shouldn't get him to play if he is at Coventry," said Callonby; "we didn't send him there." "All very well," said the captain; "if we got him we should lose Ricketts, and Bullinger, and Tom Senior, and Braddy, which would come to about the same thing." "And I shouldn't play either," said Loman, "if Greenfield played." Stansfield shrugged his shoulders and looked vicious.
Our first greetings over, the colonel drew me aside into a window, and said that, from certain expressions Lord Callonby had made use of certain hints he had dropped he was perfectly aware of the delicate position in which I stood with respect to his lordship's family.
Lord Callonby saw my admiration of her, and as it were replying to my gaze, remarked, "Yes, very handsome indeed, but really Kilkee is going too far with it. I rely upon you very much to reason him out of his folly, and we have all agreed that you have most influence over him, and are most likely to be listened to patiently."
There is an old and not less true adage, that what we wish we readily believe; and so with me I found myself an easy convert to my own hopes and desires, and actually ended by persuading myself no very hard task that my Lord Callonby had not only witnessed but approved of my attachment to his beautiful daughter, and for reasons probably known to him, but concealed from me, opined that I was a suitable "parti," and gave all due encouragement to my suit.
"Come, no tampering with our party," said Lord Callonby, "my friend here must not be seduced by honied words and soft speeches, from the high road that leads to honours and distinctions now for your instructions."

Meanwhile, adieu, and if any of my tasks bore you, omit them at once, except the white roses and the Brussels veil, which Lady Jane is most anxious for. "Sincerely yours, "Charlotte Callonby." How much did these few and apparently common-place lines convey to me?
"So be it then, Callonby, and thus do I relinquish one perhaps the only cheering prospect my advanced age held out to me. I have long wished to have your daughter for my niece, and since I have known her, the wish has increased tenfold." "It was the chosen dream of all my anticipations," said Lord Callonby, "and now Jane's affections only but let it pass."
