It would have been as easy as talking for him to have got a divorce. Time and again Mr. McGoldrick used to go after him about it, and talk himself hoarse; but it didn't do any good, not a particle.
But he still went to see her every Sunday when he was staying in town, and he still made the doctors go on trying new things. He never gave up till the very last. Mr. McGoldrick used to say of him that he was the sort that would go on hoping in hell." "Who was she? Where did he meet her?" "God only knows. He never would say much about her even to Mr.
"She has known him for thirty years, and I can find out more from her than I could discover for myself in six months," she thought; but she only said indifferently: "You've worked at this house a long time, haven't you?" "For thirty years ever since I came here at eighteen as housemaid to Mr. McGoldrick. My husband was coachman for Mr.
