Lindsay's family; and that Barney himself was appointed to the comfortable situation of steward over his property? Lord Cockletown exercised all his influence with the government of the day to procure a pardon for Shawn-na-Middogue, but without effect. He furnished him, however, with a liberal sum of money, with which he left the country, but was never heard of more.
If you marry her, Harry, I would advise you to enter public life, recommend yourself to the powers that be, and, my word for it, you stand a great chance of having the title of Cockletown revived in your person." "Well, although the title is a ridiculous one, I should have no objection to it, notwithstanding; but there will certainly arise some difficulty when we come to the marriage settlements.
"Why are you coming to court her?" "Because I understand she will have a good fortune after old Cockle takes his departure." "Eh, confound me, but that's odd; why, you are a devilish queer fellow. Did you ever see Lord Cockletown?" "Not I," replied Harry; "nor I don't care a curse whether I do or not, provided I had his niece secure." "Did you ever see the niece?" "Don't annoy me, sirrah.
We will commence operations with Lord Cockletown and Miss Riddle, in the first place; and having opened negotiations, as you say, I shall become unwell, and go for a short time to try what efficacy the waters of Ballyspellan may have on my health or rather on my fortunes." "We shall visit them to-morrow," said the mother.
We shall set all consideration of her aside for a time, and turn our attention to another object." "What or who is that, mother?" "You remember I mentioned some time ago the names of a neighboring nobleman and his niece, who lives with him. The man I allude to as Lord Bilberry, but is now Earl of Cockletown.
Now, we will be free to act with old Cockletown and his niece; and if she does not turn out a good wife if she crosses me in my amours -for amours I will have, I shall let her, too, feel what my eye can do."
