I wish they would make you a bishop, and then you would be quiet. Kitty Macguire, do ring the hell for dinner; what are the people about 'Z-"', Won't you wait for the Chancellor 2" ashed Miss Macguire, while the Countess's sortie produced a momentary silence in all; for even Lord Knocklofty's solemn haughtiness was at times borne down by his wife's vehemence., Does the Chancellor dine here?'" asked Lady Knocklofty, with a look of annoyance., He proposed to do so an hour back when I met him on the circular road," said Lord Knocklofty., So he told me,"' said the Bishop., I rodeinto town wiith him. He doesn't see the row of last night in the same point of view as thew Lord Lieutenant, who considers it as a mere street brawl. He says that he has long had.' his eye upon this O'Brien, who hoisted the seditious flag in the park yesterday.,."..
