"Stand up, sir," proceeded this daring and animated young man, addressing Mr. Folliard; "and you, Cummiskey, get to your legs. No person shall dare to injure either of you while I am here. O'Donnel stain and disgrace to a noble name begone, you and your ruffians.
"Yes," she replied, in a voice that was melody itself, "I do regret them." Fox kept his eye fixed upon her, after which he whispered something to one or two of his brother lawyers; they shook their heads, and immediately set themselves to hear and note her examination. "Miss Folliard, you are aware of the charges which have placed the prisoner at the bar of justice and his country?"
He determined, however, to try her a little farther, and proceeded: "But, Miss Folliard, how do you account for the fact of the Bingham jewels being found upon the person of the prisoner?" "It is the simplest thing in the world," she replied.
They consequently determined to ask her no more questions, and she was about to withdraw, when Fox rose up, and said: "Miss Folliard, I am counsel for the prisoner at the bar, and I trust you will answer me a few questions. I perceive, madam, that you are fatigued of this scene; but the questions I shall put to you will be few and brief.
When they had reached the corridor in which it was situated, Folliard said, "Knock at the door, and when he appears tell him that I wish to see him." "I will, your honor." "Say I won't detain him long." "I will, your honor." "Hang your honor, go and do what I desire you." "I will, your honor."
In the meantime, as Miss Folliard will have it, I withdraw all claims upon her hand and affections. Good-night, sir;" and as he spoke he took his departure.
We say the suggestion, poisoned as it was by the most specious falsehood, failed not to accomplish the villain's object. Folliard grasped him by the hand. "Never-mind," said he; "keep yourself quiet, and leave Reilly to me; I have him,that's enough."
They approached the hall door, and after giving a single knock, it was opened to them by the squire himself, who it would seem had been waiting to receive them privately. They followed him in silence to his study. Mr. Folliard, though a healthy-looking man, was, in point of fact, by no means so.
Folliard," observed the clergyman calmly, "I can indeed scarcely blame your indignation; it is natural; but, at the same time, it is useless and unavailable. Be cool, and restrain your temper. Of course, you could not think of bestowing your daughter, in marriage, upon this man."
Now, I'll tell you what, Sir Robert, I know you carry a long noddle, with more hard words in it than I ever gave you credit for but with regard to what you expect from me now " "I don't mean that you should watch her personally yourself, Mr. Folliard."
