"Then so is mine," said Grace, taking breath, with a deep sigh. The widow advancing, put on her spectacles, and, looking up close at Lord Colambre's face "Then it's a wonder I didn't know the family likeness." Lord Colambre, now recollecting that he still wore the old great coat, threw it off. "Oh, bless him! Then now I'd know him any where. I'm willing to die now, for we'll all be happy."
This doctrine her ladyship had repeated for years so often and so dogmatically, that she conceived it to be incontrovertible, and of as full force as any law of the land, or as any moral or religious obligation. She would as soon have suspected her niece of an intention of stealing her diamond necklace as of purloining Colambre's heart, or marrying this heir of the house of Clonbrony.
He is no friend of mine, I can assure you nor any such sort of person." "I thought it was impossible!" cried Lord Colambre, with exultation. "I only wish your father, Colambre, could say as much," added Lady Clonbrony. Lord Colambre's countenance fell again; and again he was silent for some time. "Does my father dine at home, ma'am?" "I suppose not; he seldom dines at home."
I'll keep out of the way of that I have had enough, said Captain Bowles; 'it is my Lord Colambre's turn now; you hear that Lady Dashfort would be very PROUD to see him. His lordship is in for it, and with such an auxiliary as Mrs. Petito, Lady Dashfort has him for Lady Isabel, as sure as he has a heart or hand.
