O'Neill's attachment to Phoebe, she had looked higher; especially as she was persuaded, by the perfumer's lady, to think that an Irishman could not be a bad match: but now she began to suspect that the perfumer's lady had changed her opinion of Irishmen, since she did not object to her own Jenny's leading up the ball at Mr. O'Neill's.
"What art thou saying, boght millish?" my mother had asked, and after a moment in which she seemed to listen in rapture, my darling had answered: "Hush! I am speaking to mamma telling her I am leaving Isabel with Christian Ann. And she is saying she is very glad." We walked round to the front of the house until we came close under the window of "Mary O'Neill's little room," which was wide open.
Presently the Doctor recommenced lazily, as if no interruption had occurred. "As I said before, I never put much faith in that story, and shouldn't have told it, but for a rather curious experience of my own. It was in the spring of '62, and I was one of a party of four, coming up from O'Neill's, when we had been snowed up.
The nearest of them, three or four miles east and west, are O'Neill's Point and Rowe's Point; the latter, besides commanding the eternally interesting canyon, gives wide-sweeping views southeast and west over the dark forest roof to the San Francisco and Mount Trumbull volcanoes the bluest of mountains over the blackest of level woods.
Mollie O'Neill's cheeks were also flushed, but she sat perfectly still, keeping her hands clasped tight together in a fashion she had when desiring a thing greatly and not feeling sure she would receive it.

"Don't you think, papa," Carlisle said sweetly, "that it will all end in something like the French Revolution?" Mr. Heth thought it extremely likely. "Well," said he, "I shan't be bothered by their college folderol. O'Neill's easy enough managed. All I need to do is invite him and Missus O. to dinner." "Who's O'Neill?" demanded Mrs. Heth, gliding in.
And even here Bessie Bilhook, whose vanity was a byword in Lower Bohemia, and who had arrogantly assumed the sovereignty of the Serio-Comics, refused to appear on the same programmes unless her name was printed twice as large as Nelly O'Neill's, and was further displayed on a board outside, alone in its nine-inch glory.
See her bright eyes the darling!" "Yes, isn't she cute?" agreed Tess. But, just at that, a second shadow fell athwart the sunny sward, a hand pushed Gypsy's head from the opening, and Mrs. O'Neill's voice said: "If you girls don't want your whereabouts given away, you'd better teach that pony not to stand with her head poked in the door for a half-hour without budging!"
The superintendent and the despatcher looked at the clock; it read 3.09. O'Neill clutched the order book, but Glover looked at Morris Blood.
