ABSTRACT
The evening after the departure of the happy trio, who were gone to Dublin to buy wedding-dresses, the party remaining at Castle Corny consisted only of king Corny, Ormond, and father Jos. When the candles were lighted, his majesty gave a long and loud yawn, Harry set the backgammon table for him, and father Jos, as usual, settled himself in the chimney corner; ‘And now mademoiselle’s gone,’ said he, ‘I shall take leave to indulge myself in my pipe.’
