'You must have been astonished to meet the "Titian Girl" in Ireland? said Joe at last, for he had caught up the epithet dropped accidentally in the other's narrative, and kept it for use. 'Was I not! but if my memory had been clearer, I should have remembered she had Irish connections. I had heard of Lord Kilgobbin on the other side of the Alps.
He'll be as indiscreet as you wish, and be sure to give him the opportunity. There, now, give me your most affectionate grasp of the hand, for there's an attentive public watching us. Young O'Shea made the journey from Kilbeggan to Kilgobbin Castle in total unconsciousness.
On the morning after the visitors took their departure from Kilgobbin, old Kearney, who usually relapsed from any exercise of hospitality into a more than ordinary amount of parsimony, sat thinking over the various economies by which the domestic budget could be squared, and after a very long séance with old Gill, in which the question of raising some rents and diminishing certain bounties was discussed, he sent up the steward to Mr.
Hennessey, the family lawyer, who had been a crony of her father's and who had known her from infancy, came down to Kilgobbin to arrange matters. It seemed that Mr. Berknowles before dying had made a will and that the will was being brought over from the States by Mr. Pinckney, his wife's cousin in whose house he had died.
"If you think of taking Donogan down with you to Kilgobbin, I ought to tell you that it would be a mistake. Women invariably dislike him, and he would do you no credit." Dick Kearney, who had begun to read this letter aloud, saw himself constrained to continue, and went on boldly, without stop or hesitation, to the last word. 'I am very grateful to you, Mr.
'We'll dine together to-day at six, said Dick, 'and bear in mind, I am more interested in this than you are. As they were about to sit down to dinner on that day, a telegram, re-directed from Kilgobbin, reached Kearney's hand.
"Though I resigned all respect for my own good sense in telling it, I was obliged to let H. E. know the contents of your despatch, and then, as I saw he had never heard of Kilgobbin, or the great Kearney family, I told more lies of your estated property, your county station, your influence generally, and your abilities individually, than the fee-simple of your property, converted into masses, will see me safe through purgatory; and I have consequently baited the trap that has caught myself; for, persuaded by my eloquent advocacy of you all, H. E. has written to Walpole to make certain inquiries concerning you, which, if satisfactory, he, Walpole, will put himself in communication with you, as to the extent and the mode to which the Government will support you.
They were assembled in the drawing-room before dinner, when Lord Kilgobbin arrived, heated, dusty, and tired, after his twelve miles' drive. 'I say, girls, said he, putting his head inside the door, 'is it true that our distinguished guest is not coming down to dinner, for, if so, I'll not wait to dress? 'No, papa; he said he'd stay with Mr. Walpole.
The princess God forgive me, but I'm always calling her Costigan but the princess will be set down niece to Lord Kilgobbin; and if you' and she addressed Walpole 'haven't a mock-title and a mock-estate, you'll be the only one without them! 'I don't think any one will deny us our tempers, cried Kearney.
No one else had made her feel the short-comings in the household ménage at Kilgobbin, no one else had made her so fiercely critical of herself and her belongings. She did not recognise the fact, but the fact was there, that it was a necessity of her being to stand well in this man's eyes.
