If that bit of paper is a cheque for five hundred pounds, I will leave this place in two hours. If it is not " "It is," said Selina. "It is a cheque for five hundred pounds, and I may then give it to you?" "I thought as much," said Lord Kilcullen; "I thought he'd alter his mind. Yes, you may give it me, and tell my father I'll dine in London to-morrow evening."
"Well, I declare I think," said Mrs Ellison, "she'll not have far to look for another." "What, you think there's something between her and Lord Kilcullen?" said Mrs Moore. "It looks like it, at any rate, don't it?" said Mrs Ellison. "Well, I really think it does," said Mrs Moore; "I'm sure I'd be very glad of it.
The pathos with which Lord Cashel terminated his speech and it was one the thrilling effect of which he intended to be overwhelming almost restored Lord Kilcullen to his accustomed effrontery. "My lord," he said, "I did not consider myself of sufficient importance to have delayed your dinner ten minutes."
Once or twice she had gradually attempted to lead the conversation to Lord Ballindine, but Kilcullen was too crafty, and had prevented her; and she had not yet sufficient courage to tell him at once what was so near her heart.
"Kilcullen," said the earl, across the table, "you don't hear the bishop. His lordship is asking you to drink wine with him." "I shall be most proud of the honour," said the son, and bobbed his head at the bishop across the table.
Lord Kilcullen will be delighted to meet you and the bishop." The bishop's wife assured the countess that nothing on earth, at the present moment, would give the bishop so much pleasure as meeting Lord Kilcullen. "You know the bishop christened him, don't you?" said Lady Cashel. "No! did he though?" said the bishop's wife; "how very interesting!" "Isn't it? And Adolphus longs to meet him.
Lord Cashel saw that he could not trust any more to his wife: that last hit about Kilcullen had been very unfortunate; so he determined to put an end to all Fanny's yearnings after her lover with a strong hand, and said,
What I said was only meant to show you how easy I think it is for you to marry Miss Wyndham if you choose." "Easy! and every soul at Grey Abbey turned against me, in consequence of my owning that brute of a horse! I'll go over there at once, and I'll show Lord Cashel that at any rate he shall not treat me like a child. As for Kilcullen, if he interferes with me or my name in any way, I'll "
He forgave even Lord Cashel; and, had he seen Lord Kilcullen, he would have been willing to give him his hand as to a brother. Frank spent two or three delightful weeks, basking in the sunshine of Fanny's love, and Lord Cashel's favour. Nothing could be more obsequiously civil than the earl's demeanour, now that the matter was decided.
"No, uncle; but I want you to ask him here again. I might tell him the rest myself." "But, Fanny, dear," said the countess, "your uncle couldn't do it: you know, he told him to go away before. Besides, I really don't think he'd come; he's so taken up with those horrid horses, and that Mr Blake, who is worse than any of 'em. Really, Fanny, Kilcullen says that he and Mr Blake are quite notorious."
