When all was taken away, and all were gone, but those who, as O'Shane said, would too soon wish unheard what they were dying to hear, he drew his daughter's chair close to him, placed her so as "to save her blushes," and began his story, by relating all that O'Tara had told. "It was a sudden death shocking!"
At all the inns upon the road, as he went from Dublin to Castle Hermitage, even at the villages where he stopped to water the horses, every creature, down to the hostlers, were talking of the bankruptcy and abusing Sir Ulick O'Shane and his son. The curses that were deep, not loud, were the worst and the faces of distress worse than all.
But she was not the sort of woman he would ever have suspected could like him she was a strict pattern lady, severe on the times, and, not unfrequently, lecturing young men gratis. Now Sir Ulick O'Shane was a sinner; how then could he please a saint?
You'll disgrace the League by shouting: 'To hell with the Pope. I know you. If a procession is anywhere in the offing, it will make you feel so at home that you'll lose your head entirely. Go and find O'Shane and punch his head if you want to let off steam. He'll be game, particularly as it's one of his home festivals too.
Miss Black, you hear what I desire no gossiping." To get to the back door they had to walk round the house, and in their way they passed the gardener's. The surgeon had just arrived. "Go on, ladies, pray," said Sir Ulick; "what stops you?" "'Tis I stop the way, Sir Ulick," said Lady O'Shane, "to speak a word to the surgeon.
O'Shane had then wondered to see the son grown so unlike the father; and he attributed the difference to White Connal's having turned grazier.
"Then we shall get his answer to the father's letter in eight days, I count," said Mademoiselle; "and I have great hopes we shall never be troubled with him: we shall know if he will come or not, in eight days." "About that time," said O'Shane: "but, sister O'Faley, do not nurse my child or yourself up with deceitful hopes.
Lady O'Shane was, soon after her arrival in Ireland, compelled to see her house as full of company as it could possibly hold; and her ladyship was condemned eternally, to do the honours to successive troops of friends, of whom she knew nothing, and of whom she disliked all she saw or heard.
In short he managed so, that whilst he confirmed the young man in his resolution to quit Castle Hermitage, he threw all the blame on Lady O'Shane; Ormond never doubting the steadiness of Sir Ulick's affection, nor suspecting that he had any secret motive for wishing to get rid of him. "But where can you go, my dear boy? What will you do with yourself? What will become of you?"
Harry Ormond instantly, sensible of his error, made proper apologies, and erred no farther. But Marcus O'Shane in particular, who was not accustomed to endure anything, much less any person, that crossed his humour, spoke of Dr. Cambray afterwards with vindictive bitterness, and with all his talents of mimicry endeavoured to make him ridiculous.
