Jim Sulivan was a dacent, honest boy as you'd find in the seven parishes, an' he was a beautiful singer, an' an illegant dancer intirely, an' a mighty plisant boy in himself; but he had the divil's bad luck, for he married for love, an 'av coorse he niver had an asy minute afther. Nell Gorman was the girl he fancied, an' a beautiful slip of a girl she was, jist twinty to the minute when he married her.

Well, this wasn't at all plasin' to Jim Sulivan you may be sure, an' there was scarce a week that his head wasn't plasthered up, or his back bint double, or his nose swelled as big as a pittaty, with the vilence iv her timper, an' his heart was scalded everlastin'ly with her tongue; so he had no pace or quietness in body or soul at all at all, with the way she was goin' an.

The first successes The year 1851 marked a turning point in the career of the prolific writer with the publication of his first collection of fantastic news: Ghost Stories and Tales of Mysteries. Following the death of the father of Susanna, Joseph and his wife moved into her father's house that Susanna has inherited 18 Merrion Square. Le Fanu will spend the rest of his life. It is in this exclusive residential area of Dublin that Le Fanu met the knight Sir William Robert Wills Wilde, Irish surgeon, and Jane Francesca Elgee of so-called Speranza, Irish poet and nationalist. Therefore, although anecdotal, seems nevertheless interesting to note that since this couple of friends will like child another writer, will become the enfant terrible of Irish letters both in his work by his private life, Oscar Wilde . The wife of Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, Susanna, shows the first signs of the disease that will win seven years later. On 1 August 1854 born George Brinslay, which will illustrate later novels of his father and realize the few portraits of him to have survived.

PASSAGE IN THE SECRET HISTORY OF AN IRISH COUNTESS. Being a Fifth Extract from the Legacy of the late Francis Purcell, P.P. of Drumcoolagh. The following paper is written in a female hand, and was no doubt communicated to my much-regretted friend by the lady whose early history it serves to illustrate, the Countess D. She is no more she long since died, a childless and a widowed wife, and, as her letter sadly predicts, none survive to whom the publication of this narrative can prove 'injurious, or even painful.' Strange! two powerful and wealthy families, that in which she was born, and that into which she had married, have ceased to be they are utterly extinct. To those who know anything of the history of Irish families, as they were less than a century ago, the facts which immediately follow will at once suggest THE NAMES of the principal actors; and to others their publication would be useless to us, possibly, if not probably, injurious. I have, therefore, altered such of the names as might, if stated, get us into difficulty; others, belonging to minor characters in the strange story, I have left untouched. My dear friend, You have asked me to furnish you with a detail of the strange events which marked my early history, and I have, without hesitation, applied myself to the task, knowing that, while I live, a kind consideration for my feelings will prevent your giving publicity to the statement; and conscious that, when I am no more, there will not survive one to whom the narrative can prove injurious, or even painful. My mother died when I was quite an infant, and of her I have no recollection, even the faintest. By her death, my education and habits were left solely to the guidance of my surviving parent; and, as far as a stern attention to my religious instruction, and an active anxiety evinced by his procuring for me the best masters to perfect me in those accomplishments which my station and wealth might seem to require, could avail, .

My father was what is called an oddity, and his treatment of me, though uniformly kind, flowed less from affection and tenderness than from a sense of obligation and duty. Indeed, I seldom even spoke to him except at meal-times, and then his manner was silent and abrupt; his leisure hours, which were many, were passed either in his study or in solitary walks; in short, he seemed to take no further interest in my happiness or improvement than a conscientious regard to the discharge of his own duty would seem to claim.... Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, né le 28 août 1814 à Dublin, où il est mort le 10 février 1873, est un écrivain irlandais. C'est l'un des auteurs majeurs du récit fantastique. Les premiers succès L'année 1851 marque une étape charnière dans la carrière du prolifique écrivain avec la publication de son premier recueil de nouvelles fantastiques : Ghost Stories and Tales of Mysteries. À la suite du décès du père de Susanna, Joseph et son épouse s'installent dans la maison paternelle dont Susanna a hérité au 18 Merrion Square. Le Fanu y passera le reste de SA vie. C'est dans ce chic quartier résidentiel de Dublin que Le Fanu fait la connaissance du chevalier Sir William Robert Wills Wilde, chirurgien irlandais, et de Jane Francesca Elgee dite Speranza , poétesse et nationaliste irlandaise. Ce fait, bien qu'anecdotique, nous semble néanmoins intéressant à noter, puisque ce couple d'amis aura comme enfant un autre écrivain, appelé à devenir l'enfant terrible des lettres irlandaises tant par son œuvre que par sa vie privée, Oscar Wilde. L'épouse de Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, Susanna, présente les premiers signes de la maladie qui l'emportera sept ans plus tard. Le 1er août 1854 naît George Brinslay, qui illustrera plus tard les romans de son père et réalisera les quelques rares portraits de lui qui nous soient parvenus.
