It was almost the first time that he had fairly caught her eye, so dexterously had she always avoided his glance. "Well," said "His Majesty," "they're none the worse for that not a bit. Av all r'y'l atthributes none is so thruly majistic as the atthributes av mercy, an' makeniss, an' magnanimeetee.
But in any evint, even the worst, ye have a frind in us constant, tinder, an' thrue; in any evint, no matther what, moind ye, I won't forgit. Niver, niver! I'll be thrue to me word. Permit us to laymint that we had not met ye befoor the late that is, befoor John Russell obtained this hand. Nay, dhrop not that beaucheous head, fair one. Let the r'y'l eye gaze on those charrums.
Ye'd belong to the Privy Council. Ye'd be the chief adviser av our r'y'l Majesty that's me, ye know; an' av coorse it isn't every day that ye have such a chance as that." "His Majesty" paused for a reply. Russell stared fixedly before him into vacancy, but uttered not a word.
We've acted in accardence wid r'y'l usage, an' now make a farrumal offer av our alliance to the parents an' gyarjians av the lovely being. What do ye say, me lord? Will ye give yer consint to our proposal, an' allow yer ward to become the Quane av Spain?" At this Russell was quite overwhelmed.
"Spake on, fair an' beaucheous one," said "His Majesty," with great gallantry. "Spake on. Our r'y'l bosom's full, so it is, av tindirist sintimints. Power forth yer story into our r'y'l ear. Come or whisht! Come over here an' sit by our r'y'l side." Saying this, "His Majesty" moved over to one end of the bench and sat there.
Be sated, we beg; it's our r'y'l will, so it is." The ladies looked at one another in meek embarrassment. There was nothing for them to sit on except the rough couches where they had slept; and finally, as there was nothing else to be done, they sat there, Mrs.
We've been lookin' all around for ages afther a partner a r'y'l consort. All the iligible faymales av all the coorts av Europe have been solicitin' our alliance. But none av thim wor shuitable. No. Without love, we won't marry we won't adopt the infernal system ay state marriages. Where our heart isn't concerned our r'y'l hand don't go not a bit av it.
"Sure," continued "His Majesty," "we r'y'l personages always acknowledge our cousins. You're a cousin av mine, a distant one, it's thrue, but degrays don't count wid us. Wanst a cousin, alwavs a cousin." "Ah, sire!"
"The throne av Spain," continued "His Majesty," "an' the crown an' sceptre av Spain, an' all the r'y'l regalia, an' all the moight an' majesty an' magnificence av its pomp an' power be jabers! they're all goin' a beggin' in this room; an' there's one here that's only got to wink, an' it's hers, every bit av it." Mrs.
We've just come," was the reply. "But who was it? Some one was here." "Some one?" said "His Majesty." "Oh, maybe it was our r'y'l footstep." "No but some one was talking Spanish." "Walkin' Spanish, ye mane," replied the august monarch. "Sure nobody's been talkin' Spanish here at all at all." "But, your Majesty, some one was here talking to me close to me." "Shure it was one av the gyerruls."
