We also got talking of the barony of Lecale, which he, as well as my own people, had sprung from, and how it had been the only Norman colony in Ulster; how many of the descendants of De Courcy's followers were still there, as might be seen from their names Russells, Savages, Mandevilles.
It was considered only a secondary title, and as the eldest son of the first de Lacy remained Lord of Meath, while the younger took de Courcy's forfeited title of Ulster, so, in the next generation, did the sons of this Walter de Burgh, until death and time reunited both titles in the same person.
"And you've left the Cross-roads and Sheba?" "Sheba and the other claimant are in some little rooms we've taken out near Dupont Circle. The other claimant is the only De Willoughby left beside myself, and he is a youngster of twenty-three. He's my brother De Courcy's son." The Judge glowed with interest. He heard the whole story, and his excitement grew as he listened.

If he had Cecil here he would outride you all. Ah, when I was in practice I could ride this horse and snatch a pebble from the ground without losing pace!" "Could you do it now?"
"He never touched me, Fisher; I don't think he ever tried; but, upon my honour, he never touched me." "But, Johnny, it was bold in you to make up to Lord de Courcy's daughter," said Fisher. "I never saw one of them in my life." "He's going it altogether among the aristocracy, now," said another; "I suppose you wouldn't look at anybody under a viscount?"
