"I say that Doctor Colligan interrupted you before you fully committed yourself." "Fully committed myself, indeed! Why, Colligan knows well enough, that when he got up in such a fluster, there'd not been a word at all said about Anty." "Hadn't there, Mr Lynch? just now you said you turned the doctor out of your house for speaking about your sister. You're only committing yourself.
He was a most pitiable object so wretched, so unmanned, so low in the scale of creation. Lord Ballindine did pity his misery, and suggested to Mr Armstrong whether by any possibility there could be any mistake in the matter whether it was possible Doctor Colligan could have mistaken Lynch's object? The poor wretch jumped at this loop-hole, and doubly condemned himself by doing so.
"Why, I didn't say so," said the doctor, looking at the widow; "but I suppose there'll be no harm eh, Mrs Kelly?" "You must let me see him alone, dear Mrs Kelly!" "If Doctor Colligan thinks you ought, Anty dear, I wouldn't stay in the room myself for worlds." "But you won't keep him here long, Miss Lynch eh? And you won't excite yourself? indeed, you mustn't.
When Doctor Colligan had finished, Lord Ballindine insisted on repeating the whole affair to Mr Armstrong. "I could not take upon myself," said he, "to advise you what to do; much less to tell you what you should do. There is only one thing clear; you cannot let things rest as they are.

They wish to speak to you, Mr Lynch, and that at once." "I suppose they can wait till a man's dressed?" "That depends on how long you're dressing, Mr Lynch." "Upon my word, this is cool enough, in a man's own house!" said Barry.

But, however, it's much betther, all ways, that Doctor Colligan should see him." "You know, Mrs Kelly," said the Doctor, "as a matter of course he'll be asking to see his sister."
