If he had murdered Lord Bullingdon, Barry could hardly be received with greater contempt and coldness than what now followed him in town and country...Now all the bills came down on him at once, with hasty abandon.

Narrator If he had murdered Lord Bullingdon, Barry could hardly be received with greater contempt and coldness than what now followed him in town and country. His friends fell away from him. And a legend arose of his cruelty to his stepson.
Narrator It was in the reign of George III that the aforesaid personages lived and quarreled; Good or bad, handsome or ugly, rich or poor, they are all equal now.
Sir Charles Lyndon Have you done with my Lady?
Redmond Barry I beg your pardon?
Sir Charles Lyndon Come, come, sir. I'm a man who would rather be known as a cuckold than a fool.
