'That's true enough, assented Mrs Gildea. 'There's no bottom to HER possibilities. 'I could tell it from her letter. She seemed to write flippantly about things but that was just because she hates insincerity and flummery, and the world she lives in doesn't satisfy her. Why, it was as if I read slick through to her soul. That woman would go through anything for a man she really loved.
'Still, you must have learned something about how to wind your skein while you've been working through your various enterprises, said Mrs Gildea. She took up one of Bridget's sketches which were on the table and looked at it thoughtfully. 'This is quite charming, Biddy if only it wasn't too fine for reproduction. The block would cost more than the thing is worth. Biddy made a MOUE. 'Oh, I know.
Mrs Gildea likes it best And so do I. Lady Bridget sniffed his raw tobacco and made a tiny moue. 'Well, if you prefer that No, of course I don't mind. I see, she went on, 'that you favour the Maxim gun idea, Mr McKeith. I understand that you're one of the Oppressors; and you and I wouldn't agree on that point.

'Steele said it of Lady Elizabeth Hastings. 'I call it a liberal education for Colin McKeith to love Lady Bridget O'Hara, laughed Lady Tallant. Mrs Gildea changed her tactics and voiced her other fear a more insistent fear. 'Has it ever occurred to you that Lady Bridget O'Hara might fall in love with Colin McKeith?

He's sound; I think I can help you to get at what he wants. But these other sheets have got mixed up with something else. I thought at first it was a story you'd given me, and I went on reading and got interested; and now I see it must have been written by some young woman friend of yours' if it's meant for a letter. Mrs Gildea turned with a dismayed exclamation. 'Good gracious!
'Here's your chance for a continuation series, "The Lady of Quality in the Bush." How does that sound? 'Rather clumsy and long, don't you think? "Lady Bridget in the Bush" would be more alliterative and catching. Only I should be giving myself away. 'I think you're doing that already, said Mrs. Gildea. 'How do you mean, Joan? I don't see it. 'Yes, you do. Look here, Biddy.
Or if she had not been so absorbed in her subject and her cigarette she might have noticed that Mrs Gildea had looked up quickly a minute before and given a mute signal to the intruder not to interrupt the conversation untowardly.
