M'Crule did not expect from her usual gentleness and softness of manners, she replied, that "no inference which might be drawn from her conduct by any persons should prevent her from acting as she thought right, and taking that part which she believed to be just." So ended the visit, or the visitation.
"Well," said Lady Annaly, "as my friend, the excellent Bishop of said in parliament, 'if you cannot make them good protestants, make them good catholics, make them good any-things." Giving up Lady Annaly all together, Mrs. M'Crule now desired to have Mr.
M'Crule should exclaim, "Scandalously too long to keep the young man there!" or, "Scandalously too short a courtship, after all!" It is humbly requested that every young lady of delicacy and feeling will put herself in the place of Florence Annaly then, imagining the man she most approves of to be in the place of Mr.
The little fellow was brought into court, and it was surprising how clear he told his story. The jidge listened to the child, young as he was. But M'Crule was on the jury, and said that he knew the child to be as cunning as any in Ireland, and that he would not believe a word that came out of his mouth.

Enraged, she attacked, by turns, both the clergyman and the priest; and when she could not separate them, she found out that it was very wrong that they should agree.
M'Crule was, or affected to be, much alarmed and scandalized at seeing catholic and protestant children mixing so much together; she knew that opinions were divided among some families in the neighbourhood upon the propriety of this mixture, and Mrs. M'Crule thought it a fine opportunity of making herself of consequence, by stirring up the matter into a party question.
