But just as she was rising from the breakfast-table, in came Sir Terence O'Fay, and, seating himself quite at his ease, in spite of Lady Clonbrony's repulsive looks, his awe of Lord Colambre having now worn off 'I'm tired, said he, 'and have a right to be tired; for it's no small walk I've taken for the good of this noble family this morning.
Mordicai, coming close beside his foreman, and speaking very low, but with a voice trembling with anger, for he was piqued by his foreman's doubts of his capacity to cope with Sir Terence O'Fay; "I'll tell you what, Smithfield, I'll be cursed if I don't get every inch of them into my power you know how."
Mordicai's clerks, with a huge long-feathered pen behind his ear, observed that Mr. Mordicai was right in that caution, for that, to the best of his comprehension, Sir Terence O'Fay and his principal, too, were over head and ears in debt.
'Sir Terence O'Fay, continued Lord Colambre, in a moderated tone, 'you are wrong to mention that young lady's name in such a manner. 'Why, then, I said only Miss B , and there are a whole hive of BEES. But I'll engage she'd thank me for what I suggested, and think herself the queen bee if my expedient was adopted by you.
Petito or Sir Terence O'Fay had the greater share in raising and spreading this report, it would be difficult to determine; but it is certain, however or by whomsoever raised, it was most useful to Lord Clonbrony, by keeping his creditors quiet.
Lord Colambre, from respect to his father, did not express his opinion, but his aversion to Sir Terence O'Fay was stronger even than his mother's; though Lady Clonbrony's detestation of him was much increased by perceiving that his coarse hints about Miss Broadhurst had operated against her favourite scheme.
Good-bye to you, and thank you kindly, and all happiness attend you." "Good-bye to you, Sir Terence O'Fay," said Lord Clonbrony; "and, since it's so ordered, I must live without you."
'I hope her ladyship did not notice me, said Sir Terence O'Fay, coming from behind a window-curtain. 'Why, Terry, what did you hide for? said Lord Clonbrony. 'Hide! Oh, I've some consideration it would have put her out of humour worse with both of you too; and for that there's no need, as far as I see.
"Not even the civility to write with his own hand! only his signature to the scrawl looks as if it was written by a drunken man, does not it, Mr. Evans?" said she, showing the letter to Lord Colambre, who immediately recognized the writing of Sir Terence O'Fay. "It does not look like the hand of a gentleman, indeed," said Lord Colambre.
But it's not Clonbrony, or your father, my lord, would act that way, no more than Sir Terence O'Fay there's the schedule of the debts, drawing a paper from his bosom; 'and I'll swear to the lot, and not a man on earth could do that but myself. Lord Colambre opened the paper. His father turned aside, covering his face with both his hands.
