Good-hearted beings! added Lady Dashfort, marking a cloud gathering on Lord Colambre's countenance. 'I laugh at them, because I love them. I could not love anything I might not laugh at your lordship excepted. So you'll come that's settled. And so it was settled. Our hero went to Killpatrickstown.
Omar, and the father of Grace: the dying acknowledgment of his marriage; the packet delivered by Count O'Halloran to the careless ambassador how recovered, by the assistance of his executor, Sir James Brooke; the travels from Wrestham to Toddrington, and thence to Red Lion-square; the interview with old Reynolds, and its final result: all was related as succinctly as the impatient curiosity of Lord Colambre's auditors could desire.
So, darting through all opposition, Lady Clonbrony made her way into the room where Grace was lying "Yes, get up! get up! my own Grace, and be surprised well you may! you are an heiress, after all." "Am I, my dear aunt?" said Grace. "True, as I'm Lady Clonbrony and a very great heiress and no more Colambre's cousin than Lady Berryl here.
Lady Clonbrony thought that it would be wise to secure him for her niece before he should make his appearance in the London world, where mothers and daughters would soon make him feel his own consequence. Mr. Berryl, as Lord Colambre's intimate friend, was admitted to the private evening parties at Lady Clonbrony's; and he contributed to render them still more agreeable.
In answer to Lord Colambre's inquiries, he named the works which had afforded him the most satisfaction; and with discriminative, not superficial celerity, touched on all ancient and modern authors on this subject, from Spenser and Davies to Young and Beaufort. Lord Colambre became anxious to cultivate the acquaintance of a gentleman who appeared so able and willing to afford him information.
This it was now easy for her to do, because she had, by this time, in her own imagination, found a plausible excuse for that coldness in Lord Colambre's reception of her, by which she had at first been hurt; she had settled it, that he had taken it for granted she was of his mother's sentiments respecting Miss Broadhurst's marriage, and that this idea, and perhaps the apprehension of her reproaches, had caused his embarrassment she knew that she could easily set this misunderstanding right.
Presently, Lord Colambre's attention was roused again, by seeing a man running, as if for his life, across a bog, near the roadside: he leaped over the ditch, and was upon the road in an instant. He seemed startled at first, at the sight of the carriage; but, looking at the postilion, Larry nodded, and he smiled and said, "All's safe!"
'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 greatcoat, threw it off. 'Oh, bless him! Then now I'd know him anywhere. I'm willing to die now, for we'll all be happy.
That's the way my lord's deer goes," says a third, laughing. "Ay, sure! and very proper, when he's not here to eat 'em." "Keep your nose out of the kitchen, young man, if you plase," said the agent's cook, shutting the door in Lord Colambre's face. "There's the way to the office, if you've money to pay, up the back stairs." "No; up the grand staircase they must, Mr.
Miss Broadhurst, however, was not a young lady who could be easily deceived, even where her passions were concerned. The moment her mother told her of Lord Colambre's intended departure, she saw the whole truth.
