Had Sir Thomas Gourlay, for instance, not treated his daughter with such brutal cruelty, an interview must have taken place between her and Lord Cullamore, which would, as a matter of course, have put an end forever to her father's hopes of the high rank for which he was so anxious to sacrifice her.
Now, Lucy, now put your heel on them grind them, my girl remember the cold and distrustful looks your father got from the world especially from those of your own sex remember it all, now, Lucy Countess of Cullamore, I mean remember it, I say, my lady, for your father's sake.
This interview will ruin me with old Cullamore; but in the meantime I must see the girl, and let her know what the consequences will be if she peaches against me." All this, of course, passed through his mind briefly, as he walked to and fro, according to his usual habit. After a few minutes he rang, and with a lowering brow, and in a stern voice, ordered Miss Gourlay to be conducted to him.
Is it true, though? Is this joy? I expected I feared something like this. Will no one tell me what has happened? Here, Lucy Countess of Cullamore! where are you?
Despite the seriousness of such a subject, Lord Cullamore and his daughter, on glancing at each other, could scarcely refrain from smiling. "Now, I can't see," proceeded Dunroe, "how either the one or the other of the said commandments would sharpen a man for the world, as Tom Norton's religion does."
"I dare say, my lord, it is very natural he should at these years; but if he," proceeded Norton, laughing, "is doting now, what will you be at his years? Here, however, is his confidential man, Morty O'Flaherty." O'Flaherty now entered, and after making a bow that still smacked strongly of Tipperary, delivered his message. "My masther, Lord Cullamore, wishes to see you, my lord.
As for Lucy, she shall be Countess of Cullamore, if she or I should die for it." He then swallowed another glass of wine, and was about to proceed to the stables, when a gentle tap came to the door, and Gillespie presented himself. "All's ready, your honor." "Very well, Gillespie.
Norton as you keep yourself honest; but I'll dirty my hands wid none o' your money. If I was willin' to betray you, it's not a bribe would prevent me." Mr. Norton, in a few moments, was ushered into the presence of Lord Cullamore. On entering the apartment, the old nobleman, with easy and native courtesy, rose up, and received him with every mark of attention and respect. "I am happy, Mr.
"In any other thing within the limits of my power, sir in anything that ought to be asked of me I would feel great pleasure in obliging you; but in this you must excuse me." "I saw Lord Cullamore in the early part of the day," replied Dean Palmer, "and he told me to say, that it was his wish you should see him; he added, that he felt it was a last request."
In the course of a short time I shall have the complete management of the whole Cullamore property; and who can say that, if you put confidence in me now, I may not have it in my power to employ you beneficially for yourself?" "Come then, sir," replied M'Bride, "let me have another tumbler, on the head of it. I think one more will do me no harm; as you say, sir, it'll clear my head."
