'The Duchess of Torcaster's carriage stops the way! a joyful sound to Colonel Heathcock and to her grace, and not less agreeable, at this instant, to Lady Langdale, who, the moment she was disembarrassed of the duchess, pressed through the crowd to Lady Clonbrony, and, addressing her with smiles and complacency, was 'charmed to have a little moment to speak to her could NOT sooner get through the crowd would certainly do herself the honour to be at her ladyship's gala on Wednesday. While Lady Langdale spoke, she never seemed to see or think of anybody but Lady Clonbrony, though, all the time, she was intent upon every motion of Lord Colambre, and, whilst she was obliged to listen with a face of sympathy to a long complaint of Lady Clonbrony's, about Mr.
'All I know of him, said Heathcock, 'is, that he is a great sportsman, with a long queue, a gold-laced hat, and long skirts to a laced waistcoat. Lord Colambre expressed a wish to see this extraordinary personage; and Lady Dashfort, to cover her former design, and, perhaps, thinking absence might be as effectual as too much propinquity, immediately offered to call upon the officers in their way, and carry them with Heathcock and Lord Colambre to Halloran Castle.
After a pause, turning to her daughter, she, in the most taunting and contemptuous terms, reproached her as the cause of this failure, concluding by a declaration, that she must in future manage her own affairs, and had best settle her mind to marry Heathcock, since every one else was too wise to think of her.

A fine country for game, I'll show you; and, if you are a good marksman, you may have plenty of shots "at folly as it flies." Lord Colambre smiled. 'As to Isabel, pursued her lady-ship, 'I shall put her in charge of Heathcock, who is going with us.
"It is difficult to measure danger when it is over past danger, like past pain, is soon forgotten," said the old general. "At all events, I rejoice in your present safety." "But is she really going to be married to Heathcock?" said Lord Colambre. "Positively: they all came over in the same packet with me, and they are all in town now, buying jewels, and equipages, and horses.

Now Lady Clonbrony is introducing him to Miss Broadhurst. 'I see him now, said Lady Langdale, examining him through her glass; 'a very gentlemanlike-looking young man, indeed. 'Not an Irishman, I am sure, by his manner, said her grace. 'Heathcock! said Lady Langdale, 'who is Miss Broadhurst talking to? 'Eh! now really 'pon honour don't know, replied Heathcock.
