But there, our dance is finished." "May I have another later on, Miss Regan?" "Yes. Let me see; I am engaged for the next five. You can have the sixth if you like, if you haven't secured my aunt for that." "You are getting on, Conway," Captain O'Connor said as they drove away from the Regans. "I have had my eye upon you. Three dances with Polly Regan, beside taking her down to supper."
"I'm a subject of the queen, and a free-born Irishman, and it's kings me ancestors were six hundred years ago. It's little they thought that one of the blood of the Regans would be used in this way."
You may never have such a chance again of being cured as you have here; for if a man goes away from Ireland without being cured of shyness his case is an absolutely hopeless one. Desmond, you must turn this matter seriously over in your mind, and I will do the same. And now it is time for us to be starting for the dance at the Regans'. I am sorry you can't go with us, Desmond, as you are on duty."
I am surprised after what I have just been saying that you should think of staying at home." "Well, of course, if you want me to go I will go," Ralph said reluctantly. "But I don't know the Regans, and don't want to." "That is very ungracious, Conway. Mr. Regan is a retired pork merchant of Cork. He has given up his business and bought an estate here, and settled down as a country gentleman.
'That is because you are so carried away by enthusiasm at the present moment as to ignore the ordinary rules of life. There are not, perhaps, many fathers who have Regans and Gonerils for their daughters; but there are very many who may take a lesson from the folly of the old king. "Thou hadst little wit in thy bald crown," the fool said to him, "when thou gav'st thy golden one away."
"And you'll have to be answering him, for he'll not rest contented without you do." "There's no Regans here," said Gallagher, "and what's more there never was." "There's no statue anyway," said Doyle, "nor there won't be." "I don't know that there'd be any harm in a statue," said Gallagher. "What has me bothered is who the General was." "There'll be no statue," said Doyle.
The Regans, for having been twice in gaol, and once indicted, and nearly convicted of Ribbonism, have established a claim to live rent-free! This I will promise to rectify. 'I shall make no more allowances for improvements without a guarantee, and a penalty besides on non-completion. And last of all came these ominous words:
"I will give Conway his first lesson to-night," the captain said. Dancing had already begun when Captain O'Connor and Ralph drove up in a dog-cart to the Regans', who lived some four miles from Ballyporrit. O'Connor introduced Ralph to his host, and then hurried away.
