She looked at the large pearls that formed the long oval pin, and at the exquisite allegorical painting, which, in the quaint fashion of the time of its execution, was colored with the "ground hair" of the beloved; so materializing sentiment, and, as it were, getting as near as possible to the very heart's blood.
Again came the notes of the horn, floating in through the open window, and almost at the same moment there was a sound of hoofs crunching the gravel of the drive as a dozen or more animals swept past at wild gallop. "This is past a joke," cried Jack. "I never heard of the old hunt materializing in any such way as this." They rushed to the front door Jack, Mr. Connolly, all of them.
Next, they caught a ray of cheer: since they had something definite to go upon, now, they could probably borrow money on the reward enough, at any rate, to tide them over till they got it; and meantime the materializing recipe would be perfected, and then good bye to trouble for good and all. The next day, May the tenth, a couple of things happened among others.
Burke, to rid them of their woes, and, indeed, but for Jane's own intervention, I fear that course would have proved the sole alternative to her becoming an irremovable fixture in the household. But it was Jane herself who solved the problem. It was two days after the cranberry episode that the solution came, and it was in this wise: "Did ye send for me?"

Her interest in those plans had fallen asleep. Everything outside this vast cathedral of a thousand fluted red columns seemed far away and unreal.
