"Don't you smell it, Furlong?" said Scatterbrain, who was so lost in looking at Augusta's mustachios that he did not mind anything else. "Isn't it horrid?" said O'Grady, with a look of disgust. Furlong thought he alluded to the mustachio, and replied with an assurance that he "liked it of all things." "Like it?" said O'Grady; "you've a queer taste.
Her husband seems to us to prolong the irresponsibility of youth, which was pardonable in Tom, to a period of life and to circumstances of enforced responsibility which make us rather decline to honour the drafts he draws; and he is also a little bit of a fool, which Tom, to do him justice, is not, though he is something of a scatterbrain.

How fared it all this time with the lord of Scatterbrain?
O'Grady rubbed his hands with the impatience of a true lover of the crustaceous delicacy, and Scatterbrain, eager to help him, flourished his oyster-knife; but before he had time to commence operations the olfactory nerves of the company gave evidence that the oysters were rather suspicious; every one began sniffing, and a universal "Oh dear!" ran round the table.

To be literal was to be correct. Daniel had not fought the lions! Darsie had muddled up the fact in her usual scatterbrain fashion, and by good right should have deplored her error.
Ever heard of Lord Scatterbrain? He died a little time ago, confessing in his will that it was he that married Mrs. Rooney, and deserted her." "So Handy Andy is now a lord!" exclaimed the squire, rocking with laughter. Andy took it like a true son of the wildest and most eccentric of Irish peers.
