"Gentlemen are no judges of what is becoming to a little girl," said Lady Barbara severely. "Unless you make a very different impression upon Lady de la Poer, she will never permit you to be the friend of her daughters."
Lord de la Poer broke out into an uncontrollable laugh, half at the aunt, half at the niece. "Why, she has grown a moustache!" he exclaimed.
She had a great dislike to a thunder- storm, and she instantly began asking her neighbours if they REALLY thought it would be thunder. "I hope it will," said Lady Fanny; "it would cool the air, and sound so grand in those domes." Kate thought this savage, and with an imploring look asked Lady de la Poer if she thought there would be a storm. "I can't see the least sign of one," was the answer.
Stacpoole mentioned that tobacco was grown here, strong and of good quality, and he was much interested, as I remember were also the charming châtelaine of Newtown Anner and Mr. Le Poer of Gurteen four or five years ago, to learn how immensely successful has been the tobacco-culture introduced into Pennsylvania only a quarter of a century ago, as a consequence of the Civil War.
"There's no help for it," said Lady de la Poer, seeing her disconsolately surveying it; "perhaps it will not be bad for you to feel a few consequences from your heedlessness."
She said this so sadly and earnestly, that Lady de la Poer came and gave her a kind hiss of forgiveness, and said: "Never mind, the girls are very happy with their father, and the rest is good for me."
But is it possible that it can be the old prejudice, De la Poer? Barbara evidently dislikes the poor child, and treats her like a state prisoner!" Honour prevailed entirely above fear and curiosity.

In 1319, the Earls of Kildare and Louth, and the Lord Arnold le Poer, were appointed a commission to inquire into all treasons committed in Ireland during Bruce's invasion. Among other outlawries they decreed those of the three de Lacys, the chiefs of their name, in Meath and Ulster.
"Oh no! please don't go, Lord de la Poer; I do want you to know, for I couldn't have played with Grace and Adelaide on false pretences!" And encouraged by her uncle's tender pressure, she murmured out, "I ran away I did I went home!" "To Oldburgh!" "Yes yes! It was very wrong; Papa Uncle Wardour, I mean made me see it was." "And what made you do it?" said her uncle kindly.
The Lord Arnold le Poer gave mortal offence to Maurice, first Earl of Desmond, by calling him "a Rhymer," a term synonymous with poetaster. To make good his reputation as a Bard, the Earl summoned his allies, the Butlers and Berminghams, while le Poer obtained the aid of his maternal relatives, the de Burghs, and several desperate conflicts took place between them.
