"The best that can be never saw Sir Ulick in such heart he has a share of the loan, and " "And what news of the Annalys?" interrupted Ormond. "I know nothing about them at all, sir," said Patrickson, who was a methodical man of business, and whose head was always intent upon what he called the main chance. "I have been in Dublin, and heard no country news."
As we have never seen the gentleman sign his name, sir, it is necessary that we should be more particular in comparing." "Oh! sir, no doubt compare as much as you please no doubt people cannot be too exact and deliberate in doing business." "It certainly is his signature," said the clerk. "I witnessed the paper," said Patrickson.
Was Colonel Albemarle dismissed or accepted? Where was he? Ormond said he would be content if Sir Ulick could obtain an answer to that single plain question. All the time Ormond was writing, Patrickson never stirred his forefinger from the spot where the signature was to be written at the bottom of the power of attorney.
But Patrickson was to go by Havre de Grace that would delay him. It was possible that Ormond by setting out instantly might get to London time enough to save his property. He went directly and ordered post horses. He had no debts in Paris, nothing to pay, but for his stables and lodging. He had a faithful servant, whom he could leave behind, to make all necessary arrangements.
"Pray," said Ormond, looking up from the paper he going to sign, "pray, Patrickson, are you really and truly an Irishman?" "By the father's side, I apprehend, sir but my mother was English. Stay, sir, if you please I must witness it."
Either from sheer mischievousness, or to revenge herself for some real or fancied slight perhaps, indeed, to mock at his talk of refinement she perpetrated upon him the practical joke of getting her Irish governess, a Miss Patrickson, to send him notes in English, signed Lady Neville, in one of which an appointment was made to meet him at the Opera.
I thought you were at Paris." "Mr. Patrickson! I thought you were at Havre de Grace what brought you here so suddenly?" "I acted for another," hesitated Patrickson: "I therefore made no delay." "And, thank Heaven!" said Ormond, "I have acted for myself! but just in time!
He turned again to speak to Patrickson, but Patrickson had disappeared. Then continuing to address himself to the clerks. "Gentlemen," said Ormond, speaking carefully, "have you heard any thing of or from Sir Ulick O'Shane lately, except what you may have heard from this Mr. Patrickson?"
It gave power only to sell out of the Three per Cents.; whereas much of Ormond's money was in the Four per Cents. Another power, Patrickson said, was necessary, and he had brought one for him to sign. Patrickson in his slow manner descanted upon the folly of signing papers in a hurry, just when people were getting into carriages, which was always the way with young gentlemen, he said.
"Witness away," said Ormond; and after having signed this paper, empowering Sir Ulick to sell 30,000l. out of the Four per cents., Ormond lay down, and wishing him a good journey, settled himself to sleep; while Patrickson, packing up his papers, deliberately said, "He hoped to be in London in short; but that he should go by Havre de Grace, and that he should be happy to execute any commands for Mr.
