I won't say who was the author of these paragraphs; or how two pictures, one representing myself under the title of 'The Prussian Irishman,' and the other Lady Lyndon as 'The Countess of Ephesus,' actually appeared in the Town and Country Magazine, published at London, and containing the fashionable tittle-tattle of the day.
Lady Lyndon was so perplexed and terrified by this continual hold upon her, that she determined to leave the country.

Well, she did; and who was the first to receive her on landing at Holyhead?
Your humble servant, Redmond Barry, Esquire.

And, to crown all, the Dublin Mercury, which announced her Ladyship's departure, announced mine THE DAY BEFORE.
There was not a soul but thought she had followed me to England; whereas she was only flying me.

Vain hope!--a man of my resolution was not thus to be balked in pursuit.

Had she fled to the antipodes, I would have been there: ay, and would have followed her as far as Orpheus did Eurydice! Her Ladyship had a house in Berkeley Square, London, more splendid than that which she possessed in Dublin; and, knowing that she would come thither, I preceded her to the English capital, and took handsome apartments in Hill Street, hard by.
