His host thanked him for spreading the contagion of good appetite, and followed his example. Robust habits and heartiness were signs with him of a conscience at peace, and he thought the Jesuits particularly forbearing in the amount of harm they had done to this young man. So they were still at table when Mr. Camminy was announced and ushered in.
Dreading lest his client's angry heat should precipitate him on the prince again, to the confusion of a lady's ears, Mr. Camminy gave an emphatic and short affirmative. 'You know what he is like? said Mr. Adister, with a face of disgust reflected from the bare thought of the hideous likeness. Mr. Camminy assured him that the description of the prince's lineaments would not be new.
Adister carried on the broken sentence. 'That house will fall! However, you have lost no time this morning. Mr. Patrick O'Donnell. Mr. Camminy bowed busily somewhere in the direction between Patrick and the sideboard. 'Our lawyers have us inside out, like our physicians, Mr. Adister resumed, talking to blunt his impatience for a private discussion with his own.
Camminy had seen another Miss Adister duetting with a young Irishman and an O'Donnell, with lamentable results to that union of voices, and he permitted himself to be a little astonished at his respected client's defective memory or indifference to the admonition of identical circumstances.
'They did that in our mountains a couple of thousand years ago, said Mr. Camminy, 'and the cause was not so bad, to judge by this ham. Men must fight: the law is only a quieter field for them.

'And so do I' Caroline raised her eyes to imagined mountains. 'You will pardon me, Camminy, said Mr. Adister. The lawyer cracked his back to bow to the great gentleman so magnanimously humiliating himself. 'Sir! Sir! he said. 'Yes, Welsh blood is queer blood, I own. They find it difficult to forgive; and trifles offend; and they are unhappily just as secretive as they are sensitive.

Caroline slipped away to mark a conclusion to the debate; and Mr. Camminy saw his client redden fast and frown. 'Besides, he spoke in a husky voice, descending upon a subject hateful, 'she tells me to-day she is not in a state to travel! Do you hear? Make what you can of it. The proud and injured gentleman had the aspect of one who receives a blow that it is impossible for him to resent.
