Paul Hartigan was an ex-Attorney-General of the Tory party a zealous, active, but somewhat rash member of his party; still in the House, a member for Mallow, and far more eager for the return of his friends to power than the great man who dictated the tactics of the Opposition, and who with more of responsibility could calculate the chances of success.
The governor showed no feeling. He had been hit, and he took it as part of the game. "Ah, you mean the affair in Phoenix Park?" he said with no apparent feeling. Darius tossed his head a little. "Wasn't it a clever bit of work? Didn't he get fame there by defeating one of the best swordsmen in Ireland?" Lord Mallow nodded. "He got fame, which he lost in time," he answered.
He was beginning to grow weary at the sight of Warrington, bobbing up here, bobbing up there, always with a subtle menace. "What's the odds?" said Mallow jovially. "Only twenty points to go. Your shot." Craig chalked his cue and scored a run of five. Mallow ran three, missed and swore amiably. Craig got the balls into a corner and finished his string. "That'll be five pounds," he said.
I've found a box of mallow root, and we will treat ourselves to it for breakfast. Isn't that nice of me now! We'll share. 'Thanks, said the sculptor, 'it makes my mouth sticky. I prefer to smoke a pipe. And, seeing that Claude was putting on his overcoat again, he asked: 'Are you going? 'Yes. I want to get the rust off, and breathe the air of Paris a bit.

The Maroons may rise at any moment, and no care is being taken by Lord Mallow to meet the danger.
Presently, with a quick move, Mallow took the offensive, and tried to unsettle Dyck's poise and disorganize his battle-plan. For an instant the tempestuous action, the brilliant, swift play of the sword, the quivering flippancy of the steel, gave Dyck that which almost disconcerted him.
Lord Mallow had never forgotten his delight at finding a young lady thoroughly acquainted with the history of his native land, thoroughly interested in Erin's struggles and Erin's hopes; a young lady who knew all about the Protestants of Ulster, and what was meant by Fixity of Tenure. He came to Lady Mabel naturally in his triumphs, and he came to her in his disappointments.
No, I have been dawdling about the grounds all the afternoon. It is much too warm for riding or driving." Lady Mabel strangled an incipient yawn. She had not yawned once in all her talk with Lord Mallow. Rorie stifled another, and Lord Mallow walked up and down among the pine-needles, like a caged lion. It would have been polite to leave the lovers to themselves, perhaps.
Her face was thinner, but her form was even fuller than it was when she had bade him good-bye, as it seemed to him for ever, and as it at first seemed to her. Through anxious days and nights she had fought with the old passion; and at last it seemed the only way to escape from the torture was by making all thought of him impossible. How could this be done? Well, Lord Mallow would offer a way.
His friends found his demeanour noticeable, and were inclined to wonder with some amusement, knowing his habitual equanimity, that the vacancy at North Mallow should have undermined it. When he entered the ball-room he stopped for a moment, flushing a little.
