But the truth is, I took a fancy to Dunroe; and I do assure you again, Lord Cullamore, that when I do take a fancy to any person a rare case with me, I grant I would go any possible lengths to serve him. Every man has his whim, my lord, and that is mine. I hope your lordship had a pleasant trip across Channel?" "Yes, thank you, Mr.
On this point, however, we shall enable the reader to judge for himself. The letter was to the following effect: "My Lord Cullamore. It is now nine months and upwards since I addressed a letter to your son; and I wrote to him in reference to you, because it had been for many years my intention never to have renewed or held any communication whatsoever with you.
I have only to go to a certain person, and say I'm sorry for what I've done, and I've no doubt but I'd come well off." "Well, and why don't you? If I were in your case, I'd consider myself first, though." "I don't know," replied the other, as if undecided. "I think, afther all, I'm in better hands. Unless Lord Cullamore is doting, I'm sure of that fact. I don't intend to remain in this counthry.
"Well, then, a few minutes only, for I myself must take an airing in the carriage, and I must also call upon old Cullamore." "Papa," said Lucy, "I am about to disclose a little secret to you which I hesitated to do before, but this certainly is a proper occasion for doing it; the secret I speak of will disclose itself.
His head, too, became light and giddy, and his brain reeled so much that he tottered, and was obliged to sit, in order to prevent himself from falling. All, however, was not to end here. This was but the first blow. Lord Cullamore was now about to depart; for he, too, had become exceedingly weak and exhausted, by the unusual exercise and agitation to which he had exposed himself.
But with respect to my daughter, will the marriage be with her own consent?" "With her own consent it will be the dearest wish of her heart." "Could you name her husband?" "I could and will. Lord Dunroe will be the man, and he will make her Countess of Cullamore." "Well, now," replied the other, "I believe you can speak truth, and are somewhat acquainted with the future.
She then made a high smoke on the top of the hill, after which she put her finger in her mouth, and gave three whistles, and by that Cucullin knew he was invited to Cullamore for this was the way that the Irish long ago gave a sign to all strangers and travellers, to let them know they were welcome to come and take share of whatever was going.
On reaching the hall he rang, and in a few minutes was admitted to his friend, Lord Cullamore. Lord Cullamore was remarkable for that venerable dignity and graceful ease, which, after all, can only result from early and constant intercourse with polished and aristocratic society.
That surely, is not a happy argument; for, perhaps, after all, I should, like others, become but a victim to my ineffectual efforts at his reformation." "There is one thing, Miss Gourlay, you are certain to become, and that is, Countess of Cullamore, at his father's death. Remember this; and. remember also, that, victim or no victim, I am determined you shall marry him.
"You mistake me, sir," replied the adroit old man; "I am going to do you a service. Call forward Thomas Gourlay." This considerably relieved the baronet, who took it for granted that it was his son whom he had called in the first instance. "What!" exclaimed Lord Cullamore, "is it possible, Sir Thomas, that you have recovered your lost son?" "It is, my lord," replied the other.
