Whether it was attributable to prejudice on Mountjoy's part, or to keen and just observation, he detected something artificial in the ring of her enthusiasm; there was not the steady light of truth in her eyes, which he remembered in the past and better days of their companionship. He was a little just a little irritated.
When the squire received the letter above given he was not in the least angry with his son, but simply determined, if possible, that he should be brought to Tretton. Mountjoy's debts would now be paid, and something, if possible, should be done for him. He was so angry with Augustus that he would, if possible, revoke his last decision; but that, alas! would be impossible.
In like manner, "a Queen's Maguire" had been raised up in Fermanagh, "a Queen's O'Reilly" in Cavan, and other chiefs of smaller districts were provided with occupation enough at their own doors by the "princely policie" of Lord Bacon. The English interest in Munster during the first year of Mountjoy's administration had recovered much of its lost predominance.
The lady of whom you are speaking is engaged to young Annesley, and Mountjoy's suit in that direction is hopeless." "Hopeless, you think?" "Utterly hopeless. Your plan of providing him with a wife would be very good if it were feasible. I should be very glad to see him settled. But if he will marry no one but Florence Mountjoy he must remain unmarried.
He had been received as Major Moody for twenty years or more, and twenty years is surely time enough to settle a man's claim to a majority without reference to the Army List. "How are you, Major Moody?" asked Mountjoy. "Not much to boast of. I hope you're pretty well, Captain Scarborough." Beyond that there was no word of salutation, and no reference to Mountjoy's wonderful absence.
The discovery, by the secret tribunal, of his return from South Africa would be followed inevitably by the sentence of death. Such was the terrible position which Mountjoy's reply had ignorantly forced him to confront. His fate depended on the doubtful security of his refuge in the doctor's house.
How glad I shall be to hear from you, it is, happily for me, quite needless to add." In her delight at receiving this good news Iris impulsively assumed that her husband would give it a kindly welcome on his side; she insisted on reading the letter to him. He said coldly, "I am glad to hear of Mr. Mountjoy's recovery" and took up the newspaper.
Then, as soon as he felt that the flagitious attempt had been made previously, in Mountjoy's favor, it became his duty to protect Augustus, in spite of the strong personal dislike which from the first he had conceived for that young man. And then he doubtless had been attracted by the singularity of all that had been done in the affair, and of all that was likely to be done.
It was all, no doubt, entailed, but for twenty years he had enjoyed the power of accumulating a sum of money for his second son's sake, or would have enjoyed it, had not the accumulation been taken from him to pay Mountjoy's debts. It was in vain that he attempted to make Mountjoy responsible for the money. Mountjoy's debts, and irregularities, and gambling went on, till Mr.
"The facts, I mean, as to Mountjoy's birth and my own." "I have not always left myself to be governed by actual circumstances." "If there was any omission on my part of an expression of proper feeling, I regret it." "I don't know that there was. What is proper feeling? There was no hypocrisy, at any rate." "You sometimes are a little bitter, sir." "I hope you won't find it so when I am gone."
