Miss Black and he were always at open war; to Lady O'Shane he submitted, though with an ill grace; yet he did submit, for his guardian's sake, where he himself only was concerned; but most imprudently and fiercely he contended upon every occasion where Marcus, when aggrieved, had declined contending with his mother-in-law.
He had no intention of parting with him for ever, but merely while the Annalys were at Castle Hermitage: till his scheme was brought to bear, he would leave Harry at the Black Islands, and he could, he thought, recal him from banishment, and force a reconciliation with Lady O'Shane, and reinstate him in favour, at pleasure.
Captain Ormond afterwards made an unfortunate marriage that is, a marriage without a fortune his friends would not see him or his wife he was soon in debt, and in great distress. He was obliged to leave his wife and go to India. She had then one child at nurse in an Irish cabin. She died soon afterwards. Sir Ulick O'Shane took the child, that had been left at nurse, into his own house.
"Impossible, I should think, sir, that it could make the least difference in the affection of any one who really who was really worthy of Miss O'Shane." The agitation into which Harry Ormond was thrown, flattered and touched Dora for the moment; her aunt hurried her out of the room. Cornelius O'Shane rang, and inquired where Mr. Connal was?
In his own apartment, writing letters, his servant believed. O'Shane sent to beg to see him, as soon as he was at leisure. At twelve o'clock Dora, Mademoiselle, and Ormond, were all in the study, punctually as the clock was striking. "Well, what is M. de Connal's answer?" cried Mademoiselle. "If he hesitate, my dear Dore, give him up dat minute."
Ormond pledged himself that Sir Ulick O'Shane would never protect such wretches; and eager to assist public justice, to defend his guardian, and, above all, to calm Sir Herbert and prevent him from over-exerting himself, he insisted upon being allowed to go in his stead with the party of military who were to search the suspected houses. It was with some difficulty that he prevailed.
This horrible idea so possessed his imagination, that he could not answer or hear any of the farther questions that were asked by Lady O'Shane and Miss Black; but after gazing upon them with unmeaning eyes for a moment in silence, walked rapidly on: as he was passing by the steps of the green- house, he stopped short at the sight of Miss Annaly, who was still sitting there.
Father O'Shane bemoaned his fate in doleful terms; the more so as Sunday was approaching, when he feared he should be absent from his congregation; and he also regretted that he had it not in his power, according to his promise to the widow O'Clery, to visit her next day, and provide for her poor orphans among the benevolent of his flock.
"I fear we can't go ahead." "What matter, O'Leary," said Father O'Shane, "as we reached in time? What is this night and all its violence compared with the sufferings of a poor soul in the next world? All I regret is that you did not send me in the sick call sooner. All is well, however; she was perfectly conscious, and, I hope, worthily received all the rites of religion.
"No," said Lady O'Shane; "you know that he would go to dine to-day with that strange cousin of yours, and neither he nor his companion have thought proper to return yet." "I wish you had given me a hint," said Sir Ulick, "and I would have waited; for Marcus ought to lead off with Miss Annaly." "Ought to be sure." said Lady O'Shane; "but that is no rule for young gentlemen's conduct.
