Alarmed by the tone of confident innocence and determination with which Ormond spoke, Mrs. M'Crule, who like all other bullies was a coward, lowered her voice, and protested she meant nothing "certainly no offence to Mr.
M'Crule, sent her compliments to him, and requested he would be so good as to let her speak with him at the house, as she had a few words of consequence to say." "Mrs. M'Crule!" Ormond did not immediately recollect that he had the honour of knowing any such person, till the servant said, "Miss Black, sir, that was formerly at Castle Hermitage." His old enemy, Miss Black, he recollected well.
As he entered, he bowed as courteously as possible to the whole circle, and advanced towards Mrs. M'Crule, whose portentous visage he could not fail to recognize.
"Well," Ormond said, "he could only do his best, and bear to be mortified, if necessary, or when necessary." A smile of approbation from Florence made his heart beat, and for some moments Mrs. M'Crule spoke without his knowing one syllable she said. Mrs. M'Crule saw the smile, and perceived the effect.
M'Crule had been present, she might again have cried "Oh! ho!" but she had retreated, too much discomfited, by the disappointments of hatred, to stay even to embarrass the progress of love. Love had made of late rapid progress.

Ormond and the Annalys turned, and saw behind them Mrs. M'Crule. "Murder!" whispered Sheelah to Moriarty, "if she fixes him with that evil eye, and he gets the stroke of it, Moriarty, 'tis all over with him for life." "Tut, woman, dear what can hurt him? is not the good doctor in person standing betwixt him and harm? and see! he is recovering upon it fast quite come to!
M'Crule, and that the union of goose and turkey in this Christmas dainty was much admired by this good lady, she attempted playfully to pass to a reflection on the happy effect that might to some tastes result from unions in party matters. But no "too serious matters these to be jested with," even with a glass of Barsac at the lips. Mrs. M'Crule stopped to say so, and to sigh.
Jenny, do you see Jack, and the car? Good morning to your ladyship; good day, Miss Annaly." Ormond put in a detainer: "I am here in obedience to your summons, Mrs. M'Crule you sent to inform me that you had a few words of consequence to say to me." "True, sir, I did wrap myself up this winter morning, and came out, as Mrs.
M'Crule sighed and groaned. But Ormond persisted: "The child," he said, "should have fair play the lady patronesses would decide as they thought proper." It had been said that the boy had Dr. Cambray's certificate, which Ormond was certain would not have been given undeservedly; he had also the certificate of his own priest. "Oh! what signifies the certificate of his priest," interrupted Mrs.
