A person stood with his back to Ormond, and was speaking earnestly to one of the clerks, who leaned over the table listening. Just as Ormond came up he heard his own name mentioned he recollected the voice he recollected the back of the figure the very bottle-green coat it was Patrickson Ormond stood still behind him, and waited to hear what was going on.
"But have you no letter for me? and what brings you over so suddenly to Paris?" "I have a letter for you somewhere here, sir only I have so many 'tis hard to find," said Patrickson, looking carefully over a parcel of letters in his pocket-book, but with such a drawling slowness of manner as put Ormond quite out of patience. Patrickson laid the letters on the bed one by one.
One morning when Ormond awoke, the first thing he heard was, that a person from Ireland was below, who was very impatient to see him. It was Patrickson, Sir Ulick O'Shane's confidential man of business. "What news from Castle Hermitage?" cried Ormond, starting up in his bed, surprised at the sight of Patrickson.
The tragedy which seemed always to pursue Godwin's intimates drove another of them, Patrickson, to suicide while an undergraduate at Cambridge.
"That's not it and that's not it; that's for Monsieur un tel, marchand, rue ; that packet's from the Hamburgh merchants What brings me over? Why, sir, I have business enough, Heaven knows!" Patrickson was employed not only by Sir Ulick O'Shane, but by many Dublin merchants and bankers, to settle business for them with different houses on the continent.
He went to the rendezvous; but no one was there waiting for him. This drew from him a sharp letter of reproach; and Miss Patrickson, who was, in her private life, a humble admirer of the great man, and had on one or two occasions translated some of his fiction, was so smitten with remorse for her trick that she revealed to him the name of the one who had invented it.
