For an Irishman, under all circumstances, dearly loves "a courting, a bon-mot, and a broil." The door at the farthest end of the room has been opened, and two people who are as yet invisible stand upon the threshold, too surprised to advance, too enthralled, indeed, by the sight before them to do so..
