"You are undher a mistake there, Major Vanston, with great respect," replied the priest. "It wasn't I but my senior curate, Father M'Pepper; and he has already been reprimanded by his Bishop." "Well," replied the other, "I am glad to hear it.
The report went that he had called Father M'Pepper, the senior curate, a liar upon the very altar; and the commencement of his explanation with respect to the fifty-pound note, was, not unnaturally since they would not permit him to speak construed into an open admission of his having been bribed. This was severe and trying enough, but it was not all.
M'Pepper across the knuckles for Bryan's affair 'the altar, said he, 'isn't the place for politics, but for religion; an' I hope I may never hear of its being desecrated with politics again, said his lordship, an' neither I will, I assure you."
"I hate anything tyrannical or overbearing," she replied, "as I do anything that's mane and ungenerous."

"Why, you're a great little soldier, Dora," replied Bryan, smiling on her with affectionate admiration.
