When Frank had read his two letters from Grey Abbey, he was in such a state of excitement as to be unable properly to decide what he would immediately do. His first idea was to gallop1 to Tuam, as fast as his best horse would carry him; to take four horses there, and not to stop one moment till he found himself at Grey Abbey: but a little consideration showed him that this would not do. He would not find horses ready for him on the road; he must take some clothes with him; and it would be only becoming in him to give the earl some notice oh his approach. So he at last made up his mind to postpone4 his departure for a few hours.

He was, however, too much overcome with joy to be able to do anything rationally. His anger against the earl totally evaporated; indeed, he only thought of him now as a man who had a house in which he could meet his love. He rushed into the drawing-room, where his mother and sisters were sitting, and, with the two letters open in his hand, proclaimed his intention of leaving home that day.

‘Goodness gracious, Frank! and where are you going?’ said Mrs O’Kelly.

‘To Grey Abbey.’

‘No!’ said Augusta, jumping up from her chair.

‘I am so glad!’ shouted Sophy, throwing down her portion of the worsted-work sofa.

‘You have made up your difference, then, with Miss Wyndham?’ said the anxious mother. ‘I am so glad! My own dear, good, sensible Frank!’

‘I never had any difference with Fanny,’ said he. ‘I was not able to explain all about it, nor can I now: it was a crotchet of the earl’s only some nonsense; however, I’m off now I can’t wait a day, for I mean to write to say I shall be at Grey Abbey the day after tomorrow, and I must go by Dublin. I shall be off in a couple of hours; so, for Heaven’s sake, Sophy, look sharp and put up my things.’

The girls both bustled5 out of the room, and Frank was following them, but his mother called him back. ‘When is it to be, Frank? Come tell me something about it. I never asked any questions when I thought the subject was a painful one.’

‘God bless you, mother, you never did. But I can tell you nothing only the stupid old earl has begged me to go there at once. Fanny must settle the time herself: there’ll be settlements, and lawyer’s work.’

‘That’s true, my love. A hundred thousand pounds in ready cash does want looking after. But look here, my dear; Fanny is of age, isn’t she?’
