"Presented!" repeats Lady Rodney, in a dreadful tone. "And would you present a low Irish girl to your sovereign? And just now, too, when the whole horrid nation is in such disrepute." "Jolly old bore!" says Captain Rodney, though not unkindly. "That is not correct," says Mona. "We have a baronet here, Sir Owen O'Connor, and he is thought a great deal of. I know all about it. Even Lady Mary would have married him if he had asked her, though his hair is the color of an orange.

He wondered if he should ever see it again; if he should return to the girl and to the people. "No?" says Lauderdale, laughing. "But why, then? There is no other Mrs. Rodney, is there?"
