'They're all alike to me, said Kilgobbin; 'but if I was to choose, I think I'd say Dr. Chute. This was so far unlucky, since Dr. Chute had then been dead about forty years; scarcely a junior of the profession having so much as heard his name. 'We really want no one, said Rogan. 'We are doing most favourably in every respect.
Flood, the Tory J.P., who, hearing of Donogan's escape, had driven over to confer with his brother magistrate. Lord Kilgobbin was not sorry to quit the field, where he'd certainly earned few laurels, and hastened down to meet his colleague.
'He forgets that there are twelve thousand police, officered by such men as yourself, captain, said Nina gravely. 'Well, there might be worse, rejoined Curtis doggedly, for he was not quite sure of the sincerity of the speaker. 'What will you be the better of taking him? said Kilgobbin. 'If the whole tree be pernicious, where's the use of plucking one leaf off it?
"At all events," and here he read aloud "at all events, his Excellency says, 'We should like to mark the Kilgobbin affair by some show of approbation; and though supporting young K. in a contest for his county is a "higher figure" than we meant to pay, see him, and hear what he has to say of his prospects what he can do to obtain a seat, and what he will do if he gets one.
An unopened country newspaper, addressed to the Viscount Kilgobbin, had however absorbed all her attention, and she was more than half disposed to possess herself of the envelope, when Mr. Kearney entered.
Your obedient and faithful servant, Kilgobbin. The cry which followed the reading of this document can only be described as a howl.

On the second evening after Nina's departure, Atlee stood on the pier of Kingstown as the packet drew up at the jetty. Walpole saw him, and waved his hand in friendly greeting. 'What news from Kilgobbin? cried he, as he landed. 'Nothing very rose-coloured, said Atlee, as he handed the note. 'Is this true? said Walpole, as a slight tremor shook his voice. 'All true. 'Isn't it Irish?
'Just as I am less extravagant than mine, cried Kilgobbin, 'because I have not got it to spend. 'I hope Mademoiselle Nina judges us more mercifully, said Walpole. 'Is that song a favourite of yours? asked she of Gorman, without noticing Walpole's remark in any way. 'No, said he bluntly; 'it makes me feel like a fool, and, I am afraid, look like one too, when I hear it.
When Lord Kilgobbin arrived at Kilbeggan it was nigh midnight, and as young O'Shea was at that moment a patient in the gaol infirmary, and sound asleep, it was decided between Kearney and his son that they would leave him undisturbed till the following morning. Late as it was, Kearney was so desirous to know the exact narrative of events that he resolved on seeing Mr. Flood at once.
