"So you won't come to Moydrum again?" said Laurence Fitzgibbon to his friend. "Not this autumn, Laurence. Your father would think that I want to live there." "Bedad, it's my father would be glad to see you, and the oftener the better." "The fact is, my time is filled up." "You're not going to be one of the party at Loughlinter?" "I believe I am.
When they were making their plans for the one entire day of this visit, she said a soft word of apology to him. "I am so busy with all these people, that I hardly know what I am doing. But we shall be able to find a quiet minute or two at Loughlinter, unless, indeed, you intend to be on the mountains all day. I suppose you have brought a gun like everybody else?" "Yes; I have brought a gun.
I cannot stand Loughlinter." "It will be better when the house is full." "You will be there, I suppose?" "Well, no; I think not," said Phineas. "You have had enough of it, have you?" Phineas made no reply to this, but smiled slightly. "By Jove, I don't wonder at it," said the Earl.
Albany, Z 3, July 17, 186 . I shall have some friends at Loughlinter next month, and should be very glad if you will join us. I will name the 16th August. I don't know whether you shoot, but there are grouse and deer. Yours truly, What was he to do? He had already begun to feel rather uncomfortable at the prospect of being separated from all his new friends as soon as the session should be over.
In her misery one day Lady Laura told the whole story of her own unhappiness to her brother, saying nothing of Phineas Finn, thinking nothing of him as she told her story, but speaking more strongly perhaps than she should have done, of the terrible dreariness of her life at Loughlinter, and of her inability to induce her husband to alter it for her sake.
A word or two had been said about Loughlinter, of the beauty of the place and of the vastness of the property. "I am almost afraid," said Lord Brentford, "that Laura is not happy there." "I hope she is," said Phineas. "He is so hard and dry, and what I call exacting. That is just the word for it. Now Laura has never been used to that.
Such a woman would feel that wealth was necessary to her, and would be willing, for the sake of wealth, to put up with a husband without romance. Nay; might it not be that she would prefer a husband without romance? Thus Phineas was arguing to himself as he was driven up to the door of Loughlinter Castle, while Mr. Ratler was eloquent on the beauty of old park trees.
"It is a matter of perfect indifference to me," said Mr. Turnbull. "I am one of those who never think of such things." "Nor I either," said Mr. Monk. Then the laird of Loughlinter was announced, and they all went down to dinner. Mr. Turnbull was a good-looking robust man about sixty, with long grey hair and a red complexion, with hard eyes, a well-cut nose, and full lips.
Do not say to me any unkind word that I have not deserved, and that would make a breach between us. I have accepted the owner of Loughlinter as my husband, because I verily believe that I shall thus do my duty in that sphere of life to which it has pleased God to call me. I have always liked him, and I will love him. For you, may I trust myself to speak openly to you?"
I hope my cousin Gustavus will condescend to give me away. Of course there is nothing fixed about time; but I should say, perhaps, in nine years. Your affectionate niece, Loughlinter, Friday. "What does she mean about nine years?" said Lady Baldock in her wrath. "She is joking," said the mild Augusta. "I believe she would joke, if I were going to be buried," said Lady Baldock.
