Nay, I would not have told this to you, my lord, if I could have conceived that it would affect you so violently, pursued Lady Dashfort, in a tone of raillery; 'you see you are no worse off than we are. We have an intermarriage with the St. Omars. I did not think you would be so much shocked at a discovery, which proves that our family and yours have some little connexion.
Miss White, Lady Killpatrick's companion, said 'he was a great oddity; Lady Dashfort, 'that he was singular; and the clergyman of the parish, who was at breakfast, declared 'that he was a man of uncommon knowledge, merit, and politeness.
Away he goes in gallant style, and the whole field is hard up, till pug takes a stiff country; then they who haven't pluck lag, see no more of him, and, with a fine blazing scent, there are but few of us in at the death. 'Well, we are fairly in at the death, I hope, said Lady Dashfort; 'I was thrown out sadly at one time in the chace.
One day, Lady Dashfort, who, in fact, was not proud of her family, though she pretended to be so, was herself prevailed on, though with much difficulty, by Lady Killpatrick, to do the very thing she wanted to do, to show her genealogy, which had been beautifully blazoned, and which was to be produced in evidence in the lawsuit that brought her to Ireland.
'Oh! if that were all; if these gentlemen would only drink; but their conversation! I don't wonder my mother dreads returning to Clonbrony Castle, if my father must have such company as this. But, surely, it cannot be necessary. 'Oh, indispensable! Positively indispensable! cried Lady Dashfort; 'no living in Ireland without it.

Count O'Halloran came to return the visit which had been paid to him; and, in the course of conversation, he spoke of the officers who had been introduced to him, and told Lady Dashfort that he had heard a report which shocked him much he hoped it could not be true that one of these officers had introduced his mistress as his wife to Lady Oranmore, who lived in the neighbourhood.
"Many a tennis-ball, and many a heart, is caught at the rebound," said Lady Dashfort. "Isabel! now is your time!" And so it was or so, perhaps, it would have been, but for a circumstance which her ladyship, with all her genius for intrigue, had never taken into her consideration.
