Petito, laying a detaining hand upon Lord Colambre's whip, one end of which he unwittingly trusted within her reach, 'I and my lady had a little difference, which the best friends, you know, sometimes have; so my Lady Clonbrony was so condescending to give me up to my Lady Dashfort and I knew no more than the child unborn that her ladyship had it in contemplation to cross the seas.
And let me see whether she will wheedle me as finely as Mrs. Petito would. Don't get ready your marriage settlements, do you hear, till you have seen my will, which I shall sign at what's the name of your place? Write it down there; there's pen and ink; and leave me, for the twinge is coming, and I shall roar. 'Will you permit me, sir, to leave my own servant with you to take care of you?
"Only my Lord Colambre, about a parcel I was bringing for him from England, my lady my Lady Isabel, my lord," said Mrs. Petito. Whilst Mrs.
Petito wrote over word it was to be Lady Isabel; and then a contradiction came it was turned into the youngest of the Killpatricks; and now here he's in Miss Nugent's dressing-room to the last moment.
Petito! repeated Lord Colambre, as the name caught his ear; and, approaching the barouche in which the five abigails were now seated, he saw the identical Mrs. Petito, who, when he left London, had been in his mother's service.
And having formed this resolution, Petito concluded her apparently interminable soliloquy, and went with my lord's gentleman into the antechamber, to hear the concert, and give her judgment on everything; as she peeped in through the vista of heads into the Apollo saloon for to-night the Alhambra was transformed into the Apollo saloon she saw that whilst the company, rank behind rank, in close semicircles, had crowded round the performers to hear a favourite singer, Miss Broadhurst and Lord Colambre were standing in the outer semicircle, talking to one another earnestly.
So I shall tell my lady to-night, as I always do when she vexes me, that I never lived in an Irish family before, and don't know the ways of it then she'll tell me she was born in Hoxfordshire then I shall say, with my saucy look, "Oh, was you, my lady? I always forget that you was an Englishwoman:" then maybe she'll say, "Forget! you forget yourself strangely, Petito."

"My present way of thinking," resumed Petito, "is in consequence of my having, with my own eyes and ears, witnessed and overheard his lordship's behaviour and words, the morning he was coming away from Lunnun for Ireland; when he was morally certain nobody was up, nor overhearing nor overseeing him, there did I notice him, my lady, stopping in the antechamber, ejaculating over one of Miss Nugent's gloves, which he had picked up.
In this house, above and below stairs, including first and second table, housekeeper's room, lady's maids' room, butler's room, and gentleman's, one hundred and four people sit down to dinner every day, as Petito informs me, beside kitchen boys, and what they call CHAR-women who never sit down, but who do not eat or waste the less for that; and retainers and friends, friends to the fifth and sixth generation, who "must get their bit and their sup;" for, "sure, it's only Biddy," they say, continued Lady Dashfort, imitating their Irish brogue, 'find, "sure, 'tis nothing at all, out of all his honour, my lord, has.
