"Come, you are better now," said Kilkee, "and will be quite well when you get some supper, and a little of the tokay, his majesty has been good enough to send us." "His majesty desires to know if his excellency is better," said an aide de camp. I muttered my most grateful acknowledgments.
Lorrequer is a false man then," said Lady Catherine, "for he said at breakfast, that we should devote this afternoon to the chalk caves as the tide will be so far out, we can see them all perfectly." "And I," said Lord Kilkee, "must put in my plea, that the aforesaid Mr. Lorrequer is booked for a coursing match 'Mouche versus Jessie. Guilty or not guilty?" Lady Jane alone of all said not a word.
You surely could not " "Could not. What he could not what he would not do, is beyond my calculation to make out," said Kilkee, laughing, "anything in life, from breaking an axletree to hoaxing a king;" I turned, as may be imagined, a deaf ear to this allusion, which really frightened me, not knowing how far Kilkee's information might lead, nor how he might feel disposed to use it.
Oh, then, thought I, I must have done or said something last night during my illness, that I can't remember now. "Come, Kilkee, out with it. What happened last night, that has served to amuse the good people of Munich? for as I am a true man, I forget all you are alluding to." "And don't remember the Greek Loan eh?" "The Greek Loan!" "And your Excellency's marked reception by his Majesty?
Lorrequer, he knows you: see, he is bowing to you." "Me! Oh! no. Why, surely, it must be the devil it is Kilkee, Lady Jane's brother. I know his temper well. One five minutes' observation of my present intimacy with my fair friends, and adieu to all hopes for me of calling Lord Callonby my father-in-law. There is not therefore, a moment to lose."
Suffice it to say, that when Lord Kilkee was advocating Toryism in the west, I, his accredited ambassador, was devoting to the infernal gods the prelacy, the peerage, and the pension list a mode of canvass well worthy of imitation in these troublesome times; for, not to speak of the great prospect of success from having friends on both sides of the question, the principal can always divest himself of any unpleasant consequences as regards inconsistency, by throing the blame on this friend, "who went too far," as the appropriate phrase is.
I of course appeared overjoyed at my dog's success, and listened with great pretence of interest to the narrative of the "run;" the more so, because that though perhaps more my friend than the older members of the family, Lord Kilkee evidently liked less than them, my growing intimacy with his sister; and I was anxious to blind him on the present occasion, when, but for his recent excitement, very little penetration would have enabled him to detect that something unusual had taken place.
At last I summoned up courage to touch her hand; she gently withdrew it but so gently, it was not a repulse. "If Lady Jane," said I at length, "if the devoted " "Holloa, there," said a deep voice without; "is Mr. Lorrequer there?" It was Lord Kilkee, returned from his coursing match. None but he who has felt such an interruption, can feel for me.
Lord Kilkee, who left us yesterday, was much distressed at not having seen you he desired me to say you shall hear from him from Leamington.
