And the two friends, le bel Irlandois, as they persisted in calling Ormond, and la belle Irlandoise, and their horses, and their horsemanship, were the admiration of the promenade. The Comte de Belle Chasse sent to London for an English horse at any price. He was out of humour and Ormond in the finest humour imaginable.
"Follow me," said she to him, and with Parisian ease and grace she glided into the salon to receive M. de Jarillac presented Ormond to M. le Comte "Anglois Irlandois an English, an Irish gentleman the companion of her childhood," with the slightest, lightest tone of sentiment imaginable; and another count and another came, and a baron, and a marquis, and a duke, and Madame la Comtesse de , and Madame la Duchesse ; and all were received with ease, respect, vivacity, or sentiment as the occasion required now advancing a step or two to mark empressement where requisite; regaining always, imperceptibly, the most advantageous situation and attitude for herself; presenting Ormond to every one quite intent upon him, yet appearing entirely occupied with every body else; and, in short, never forgetting them, him, or herself for an instant.
She had always liked le grand monde she liked it better now than ever, when she found Ormond in every crowded assembly, every place of public amusement a continual round of breakfasts, dinners, balls court balls bal masque bal de l'opera plays grand entertainments petits soupers fetes at Versailles pleasure in every possible form and variety of luxury and extravagance succeeded day after day, and night after night and Ormond, le bel Irlandois, once in fashion, was every where, and every where admired; flattered by the women, who wished to draw him in to be their partners at play still more flattered by those who wished to engage him as a lover most of all flattered by Dora. he felt his danger.
Les Irlandois ne le cedent plus aux Anglois, ni en industrie ni en lumieres." See O'Halloran's History of Ireland. Author of Chiysal, or Adventures of a Guinea. Author of the beautiful moral tale Nourjahad. "For which an eloquence that aims to vex, With native tropes of anger arms the sex." Parnell.
Not that I cared for dying; no, d me if I do!" "WHEN you do, your Excellency means," said the Abbe, a fat grey-haired Irishman, from the Irlandois College at Paris. His Excellency did not laugh, nor understand jokes of any kind; he was of an undeviating stupidity, and only replied, "Sir, I mean what I say.
The good Abbe seemed to see something of what in Ormond's mind, and became still more interested about him. "Ah, ca," said he to Marmontel, as soon as Ormond was gone, "that young man is worth something: I thought he was only le bel Irlandois, but I find he is much more. We must do what we can for him, and not let him leave Paris, as so many do, having seen only the worst part of our society."
Half in a tone of raillery, yet with a look that showed she felt it to be just, Madame de Connal first adopted the appellation, and then changed the term to "mon bel Irlandois." Invitations upon invitations poured upon Ormond all were eager to have him at their parties he was every where attending Madame de Connal and she, how proud to be attended by Ormond!
Toutes les nations ont des contes plaisans de betises echappees non seulement a des personnes vraiment betes, mais aux distractions de gens qui ne sont pas sans esprit. Les Italiens ont leurs spropositi, leur arlequin ses balourdises, les Anglois leurs blunders, les Irlandois leurs bulls.
Castle Rackrent. Il y a des nations dont l'une semble faite pour etre soumise a l'autre. Les Anglois ont toujours eu sur les Irlandois la superiorite du genie, des richesses, et des armes. La superiorite que les blancs ont sur les noirs. "On lisait dans les premieres editions, la superiorite que les blancs ont sur les negres. M. de Voltaire effaca cette expression injurieuse.
"Really, Monsieur," said he, "you must have a strong head you, le bel Irlandois to have prevented it from being turned with all the flattery you have received in Paris. There is nothing which gets into the head worse still, into the heart, so soon, so dangerously, as the flattery of pretty women. And yet I declare you seem wonderfully sober, considering."
