It is not every girl who will be a peeress in her own right, and she amused her grandfather by calmly informing him that it was not on the whole a subject for regret that she had not been a boy. "You see," said she, "we get rid of the new viscounty, and it's much better to be Warmley than Thrapston."
We believe Mr Disney would, under the circumstances I have suggested, be prepared to recommend a viscounty, and that there would prove to be no difficulties in the way." The last words had, presumably, reference to the same quarter that Lady Evenswood had once described by the words, "Somebody Else." They watched him as he digested the proposal, at last made to him in a tolerably plain form.
Not to multiply instances, it was upon this person that I fixed my chief reliance for the advancement of my claim to the Barony of Barryogue and the Viscounty which I proposed to get.
In the course of the evening of the 13th, while his physician and family were round him, his strength suddenly gave way, and at half past eight he died, at the age of eighty-eight, and was buried at Stone in Staffordshire. He was succeeded in the peerage by his nephew, who, however, inherits only the viscounty.
To him the battle seemed to be won. He was assured in his manner and decidedly triumphant as he said: "It's a great thing to have screwed Disney up to the viscounty. It does away with all difficulty about the name, you see." Harry looked up sharply. Had Mr Disney been "screwed up?" Who had screwed him up? by what warrant? on whose commission?
I got from the English and Irish heralds a description and detailed pedigree of the Barony of Barryogue, and claimed respectfully to be reinstated in my ancestral titles, and also to be rewarded with the Viscounty of Ballybarry.
Driven into a corner, but evidently rather ashamed of himself, Southend explained. "The viscounty would be more convenient if a match came about between him and the girl." "What, the new Lady Tristram? Well, George, romance has taken possession of you to-day!" "Not at all," he protested indignantly. "It's the obviously sensible way out." "Then they can do it without a viscounty."
The most convincing material proof that the two places are the same was furnished by the discovery of the tunnel; but some strong corroborative evidence is to be found in local names. The word puy affords no clue; for it simply means a high place. In the dialect of the Viscounty of Turenne the Puy d'Issolu is pronounced Lo Pe de Cholu.
The Lord Warmley of that day, a Regency dandy, had a son, but not one who could inherit his honors, and away went the barony to a yet younger branch, where, falling a few years later into female hands, it was merged in a brand-new viscounty, and was now waiting till chance again should restore it to an independent existence.
"Now the fines and forfeits exacted by the King of Youth during his festival were always paid in wine a pail of wine apiece from the newest married couple in the Viscounty, a pail of wine from anyone proved to have cut or plucked so much as a leaf from the great elm-tree in the place, a pail for damaging the Maypole, or stumbling in the dance, or hindering any of the processions.
