King Corny rejoiced to see his old friend, the elder Connal; but through all the efforts that his majesty made to be more than civil to the son, the degenerate grazier, his future son-in-law, it was plain that he was only keeping his promise, and receiving such a guest as he ought to be received.
"No matter what he is," said Dora, "I shall not go down to see him; so you had better go by yourself, aunt." "Not one step! Oh! that would be the height of impolitesse and disobedience you could not do that, my dear Dore; consider, he is not a man that nobody knows, like your old butor of a White Connal.
He dreaded lest his principles should not withstand the strong temptation. He could not leave her, but he determined to see her only in crowds; accordingly, he avoided every select party: l'amie intime could never for the first three weeks get him to one petit comite, though Madame de Connal assured him that her friend's petit soupers "were charming, worth all the crowded assemblies in Paris."
"No doubt he should like to see all that but at all events he was positively determined to see Molet, and Madame de la Ruette, every night they acted." Connal smiled, and only answered, "Of course he would do as he pleased." But in the mean time, it was now Madame de Connal's night for seeing company, and he was to make his debut in a French assembly.
This first fit of dramatic enthusiasm was the third day at its height, when Connal returned from Versailles; and it was so strong upon him, and he was so full of Molet and Madame de la Ruette, that he could scarcely listen to what Connal said of Versailles, the king's supper, and Madame la Dauphine.
I'm thinking, Mr. Connal, that Wilson ought to be the Provost!" "Strange!" cried the former Head of the Town, "that you should have been thinking that! I've just been in the same mind o't. Wilson's by far and away the most progressive man we have. What a business he has built in two or three years!" "He has that!" shouted Brodie. "He goes up the brae as fast as some other folk are going down't.
This circumstance, coupled with the fact that he was a very handy man with horses, as all colonists are, had procured him the first small step from the ranks which facilitates bullying if a man be a bully by nature, and is physically fitted to be a successful one. Connal was a hulking ruffian, and in me had ideal game. The brute was offensive to me from the hour I joined.
He must wear off his English or Irish awkwardness a little, before he should be presented to Madame de Connal, or appear in French society. A profusion of compliments followed from M. de Connal; but Ormond persisting, it was settled that he should go incog. this night to the Theatre Francois. Connal called upon him in the evening, and took him to the theatre.
"Impossible, I should think, sir, that it could make the least difference in the affection of any one who really who was really worthy of Miss O'Shane." The agitation into which Harry Ormond was thrown, flattered and touched Dora for the moment; her aunt hurried her out of the room. Cornelius O'Shane rang, and inquired where Mr. Connal was?
This compliance, and the look with which it was accompanied, convinced him of the absolute power he possessed over her heart. He was enchanted with Dora she never looked so beautiful; never before, not even in the first days of his early youth, had he felt her beauty so attractive. "Dear Madame de Connal, dear Dora!" he exclaimed. "Call me Dora," said she: "I wish ever to be Dora to Harry Ormond.
