So profound was the silence in the great hall, that the footsteps of those without were heard with startling distinctness in every part of the room. Before all the peers, leaned Lord Monteagle, his gaze riveted upon the face of his son.
'Charles Fox thinks he is the greatest poet that ever existed, said her ladyship, as if she were determined to settle the question. 'Because he has written a lampoon on the royal family, rejoined Mr. Pole. 'You are a very provoking person, said Lady Monteagle; 'but you do not provoke me; do not flatter yourself you do.
Utterly unconscious who had just joined the circle, while Lord Monteagle was introducing his newly-arrived guest to many present, and to all of whom he was unknown except by reputation, Lord Cadurcis was standing apart, apparently wrapt in his own thoughts; but the truth is, in spite of all the excitement in which he lived, he had difficulty in overcoming the natural reserve of his disposition.
'Have I not to bear a smiling face with a breaking heart? 'By Jove! a scene, exclaimed Cadurcis in a piteous tone. 'A scene! exclaimed Lady Monteagle, bursting into a flood of indignant tears. 'Is this the way the expression of my feelings is ever to be stigmatised? Barbarous man! Cadurcis stood with his back to the fireplace, with his lips compressed, and his hands under his coat-tails.
Father Finlay, who joined the movement in 1892, and who has devoted the extraordinary influence which he possesses over the rural population of Ireland to the dissemination of our economic principles, became Vice-President. Both he and Lord Monteagle have been annually re-elected ever since.

Though Salisbury, too, was inclined to pay little attention to it, he thought proper to lay it before the king, who came to town a few days after.
Lady , with Lord Cadurcis dining with her, and the new beauty for a niece, must have been in a most delectable state of bustle. 'I thought she was rather quiet, said her companion with provoking indifference. 'She seemed to me an agreeable person. 'I suppose you mean Miss Herbert? said Lady Monteagle. 'Oh! these are moderate expressions to use in reference to a person like Miss Herbert.
Next day, there appeared at Essex House the earls of Southampton and Rutland, the lords Sandys and Monteagle, with about three hundred gentlemen of good quality and fortune; and Essex informed them of the danger to which, he pretended, the machinations of his enemies exposed him.
'Of course, I know it was only that; but you should not have gone and dined there, Cadurcis, added the lady, very seriously, 'That compromised you; but, by cutting them in future in the most marked manner, you may get over it. 'You really think I may? inquired Lord Cadurcis, with some anxiety. 'Oh! I have no doubt of it, said Lady Monteagle.
"Dost thou forget," the son inquired, "that I am a Monteagle, and have implanted in me that pride and temper which can illy condone, even in those they love, deceit and falsity? Have no fears for me," he added, advancing with a determined step toward the door. "Where art thou going, my son?" asked the other in an alarmed tone.
