Mightn't I be allowed to keep my horse?

I should like to oblige you, but with people like us, we must be able to travel faster than our clients. Good day, young sir. [Barry soon is a few paces ahead of the robbers]
send an e card Captain Feeny


You can put down your hands now, Mr. Barry!

I'm under arrest? Captain Potzdorf, sir! I'm a British officer.
send an e card Redmond Barry


You are a liar! You are an impostor. You are a deserter. I suspected you this morning, and your lies and folly have confirmed this to me. You pretend to carry dispatches to a British general who has been dead these ten months. You say your uncle is the British Ambassador in Berlin, with the ridiculous name of O'Grady. Now, will you join and take the bounty sir, or will you be given up?
send an e card Captain Potzdorf


Sir, I... I have a confession to make to you. I'm an Irishman. And my name is Redmond Barry. I was abducted into the Prussian army two years ago, and now have been put into your service by my Captain Potzdorf, and his uncle, the Minister of Police... to serve as a watch upon your... actions... and to give information to the same quarter.

The Chevalier was as much affected as Barry at thus finding one of his countrymen. For he too was an exile from home, and a friendly voice, a look, brought the old country back to his memory again.

Have you done with my Lady?
send an e card Sir Charles Lyndon


I beg your pardon?
send an e card Redmond Barry


Come, come, sir. I'm a man who would rather be known as a cuckold than a fool.
send an e card Sir Charles Lyndon


[Laughs] He wants to step into my shoes. He wants to step into my shoes. Is it not a pleasure Gentlemen for me, as I am drawing near the goal - to find my home such a happy one - my wife so fond of me, that she is even now thinking of appointing a successor? Isn't it a comfort to see her like a prudent housewife - getting everything ready for her husband's departure?
send an e card Sir Charles Lyndon


I hope you're not thinking of leaving us soon, Sir Charles?
send an e card Redmond Barry


Not so soon my dear as you may fancy, perhaps. Why man I've been given over many times these four years. And there was always a candidate or two - waiting to apply for the situation. I'm sorry for you, Mr. Barry. It grieves me to keep you or any gentleman waiting. Had you not better arrange with my doctor or have the cook flavor my omelette with arsenic, eh? What are the odds, gentlemen, that I live to see Mr. Barry hang yet?
send an e card Sir Charles Lyndon


Sir, let those laugh that win.
send an e card Redmond Barry


Don't you think he fits my shoes very well Your Ladyship? [kneels to his stepbrother] Dear child, what a pity it is I am not dead, for your sake. The Lyndons would then have a worthy representative and enjoy all the benefits of the illustrious blood of the Barrys of Barryville. Would they not... Mr. Redmond Barry?
send an e card Lord Bullingdon


From the way I love this child my lord, you ought to know how I would have loved his elder brother had he proved worthy of any mother's affection.
send an e card Lady Lyndon


Madam! I have borne as long as mortal could endure the ill-treatment of the insolent Irish upstart whom you've taken into your bed. It is not only the lowness of his birth and the general brutality of his manners which disgusts me, but the shameful nature of his conduct towards Your Ladyship. His brutal and ungentleman-like behavior, his open infidelity, his shameless robberies and swindling of my property, and yours. And as I cannot personally chastise this lowbred ruffian, and as I cannot bear to witness his treatment of you and loathe his horrible society as if it were the plague; I have decided to leave my home and never return, at least during his detested life or during my own.
