After beginning with various little mock defences, avertings of the head, and twists of the neck, of the shoulders and hips, compound motions resolvable into mauvaise honte and pride, as dinner proceeded, and Monsieur de Connal's success was undoubted, she silently gave up her resolution "not to admire."
O'Shane had then wondered to see the son grown so unlike the father; and he attributed the difference to White Connal's having turned grazier.
Connal of Connal's-town despised Harry Ormond of no-town viewed him with scornful, but not with jealous eyes: idle jealousies were far from Connal's thoughts he was intent upon the noble recreation of cock-fighting.
He embraced him, called him son, and dear son said he had now found out, no thanks to him, Connal's cause of complaint, and it had nothing to do with Dora. "But why could not you say so, man?" He had said so repeatedly. "Well, so I suppose it is to be made out clearly to be all my fault, that was in a passion, and could not hear, understand, or believe.
O'Tara answered, that the common cry of the country was, that all White Connal's profitable farms were leasehold property, and upon his own life.
Madame de Connal made Ormond promise that he would come the next morning, and settle every thing with M. de Connal for their intended expedition into the country. The next day, as Ormond was returning to Madame de Connal's, with the firm intention of adhering to the honourable line of conduct he had traced out for himself, just as he was crossing the Pont Neuf, some one ran full against him.
"But is not it very extraordinary, he absolutely never spoke to me," said Dora: "a very strange manner of paying his court!" Mademoiselle assured Dora "that this was owing to M. de Connal's French habits.
But White Connal's anger lasted longer: for many reasons he disliked Ormond; and thinking from Harry's gentleness, that he might venture to insult him, returned to the charge, and becoming high and brutal in his tone, said that "Mr. Ormond had committed an ungentlemanlike action, which it was easier to apologize for than to defend."
