But Kilcullen had intended to flatter his fair cousin, and he had been successful. She was gratified and pleased by his warmth of affection. "Pray do," repeated Fanny; "I have more faults than virtues to be told of, and so I'm afraid you'll find out, when you know me better." "To begin, then," said Kilcullen, "are you not wrong but no, Fanny, I will not torment you now with a catalogue of faults.
It will be remembered that that demon of Dunmore, Barry Lynch, has been made to vanish: like Lord Kilcullen, he has gone abroad; he has settled himself at an hotel at Boulogne, and is determined to enjoy himself.
The same thing has been the case in all your other amusements and pursuits " "Well, my lord, I confess it all; isn't that enough?" "Enough, Kilcullen!" said the earl, in a voice of horrified astonishment, "how enough? how can anything be enough after such a course so wild, so mad, so ruinous!"
"Kilcullen," said he, with a great deal of unconcerned good humour affected in his tone, "just give me one moment I've a word to say to you. Goodnight, Mr Tierney, goodnight; I'm sorry to hear we're to lose you to-morrow." Lord Kilcullen shrugged his shoulders, winked at his friend and then turned round and followed his father.
Her ladyship had been bothering him about the poor boy, as she called her son, now that she learned he was in distress; and had been beseeching him to increase his allowance. The earl had not told his wife the extent of their son's pecuniary delinquencies, and consequently she was greatly dismayed when her husband very solemnly said, "My lady, Lord Kilcullen has no longer any allowance from me."
She had, some little time since, fully made up her mind to open her heart to Lord Kilcullen about him, and she had as fully determined not to do so after what Selina had said upon the subject; but now she again wavered.
It was plain that Lord Kilcullen could not remain in London, for he would be arrested; the same thing would happen at Grey Abbey, if he were to remain there long without settling his affairs; and if he were once to escape his creditors by going abroad, there would be no such thing as getting him back again.
I will not I will not " But Fanny was out of breath; and could not complete the catalogue of what she would not do. "And did you intend to tell me all this, had I not spoken to you as I have done?" said Kilcullen. "I did," said she. "I was on the point of telling you everything: twice I had intended to do so.
It was true that Lord Kilcullen was a heartless roué, whereas Lord Ballindine was only a thoughtless rake; but then, Lord Kilcullen would be an earl, and a peer of parliament, and Lord Ballindine was only an Irish viscount.
I am sorry to say, that the state of my affairs at present renders it advisable that the family should remain at Grey Abbey this season. I shall attend my parliamentary duties alone." This was intended as a hit the first at the prodigal son, but Kilcullen was too crafty to allow it to tell.
