'Have it your own way, my dear, as you have everything else! cried Lord Clonbrony, taking up his hat, and preparing to decamp; 'but, take notice, if you won't receive him you need not expect me. So a good morning to you, my Lady Clonbrony. You may find a worse friend in need, yet, than that same Sir Terence O'Fay. 'I trust I shall never be in need, my lord, replied her ladyship.
'So Sir Terence O'Fay always says, and that's the reason your mother can't endure poor Terry. You don't know Terry? No, you have only seen him; but, indeed, to see him is to know him; for he is the most off-hand, good fellow in Europe. 'I don't pretend to know him yet, said Lord Colambre. 'I am not so presumptuous as to form my opinion at first sight.
Two great objects were now to be accomplished the payment of his father's debts, and the settlement of the Irish agent's accounts; and, in transacting this complicated business, he derived consider-able assistance from Sir Terence O'Fay, and from Sir Arthur Berryl's solicitor, Mr. Edwards.

No; her ladyship made the most solemn and desperate protestation, that she would sooner give up her gala altogether tie up the knocker say she was sick rather be sick, or be dead, than be obliged to have such a creature as Sir Terence O'Fay at her gala.
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.

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.
"Why, then," continued Sir Terence, following Miss Nugent to the table, where she was sealing letters "I must tell you how I sarved that same man on another occasion, and got the victory, too." No general officer could talk of his victories, or fight his battles o'er again, with more complacency than Sir Terence O'Fay recounted his civil exploits. "Now I'll tell you, Miss Nugent.
"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! I didn't hide, nor wouldn't from any man living, let alone any woman.
