"She must have something to eat before she goes to bed the other children have gone already." Then she rang a hand-bell, and when the first lady came back she said: "Ask Sister Angela to come to me immediately." A few minutes later Sister Angela came into the room, and she was quite young, almost a girl, with such a sweet sad face that I loved her instantly. "This is little Mary O'Neill.
"You needn't. He bores me to extinction." "I'm sorry it is my friends who are so unfortunate." "It's your husband who's unfortunate. He is not an intellectual person. Nor a spiritual one, either, I'm afraid." He looked up. Anne had finished her morsel, and her fingers played irritably with the hand-bell at her side.
"I could have sworn it," said the jockey; then rising from his chair, he laid his pipe on the table, took a large hand-bell which stood on the side-board, and going to the door, opened it, and commenced ringing in a most tremendous manner on the staircase.
He took water from the fountain and was about to throw it in her face; but she put up a white hand deprecatingly: "Nay, hold it to my brow with thine hand: prithee, do not fling it at me!"
