No," she broke in eagerly, "he was most generous with me. But for the moment I could n't see it. It was my fault that he went." "But what was the cause of it?" he insisted, puzzled and dazed by the whole episode. "It was nothing that counts now. I want you to promise me, Ben, that you will never refer to it, that you will never permit him to tell you of it." His face cleared. "Just a little tiff?
She looked at him: he was reading a letter. She looked in at the window: Mary was reading a letter. "Well!" exclaimed Miss Bussey. "Have they had a tiff?" He advanced toward her still reading; not only did he not see her, but he failed to notice that Paul had got under his feet. He fell over Paul, and as he stumbled the letter fluttered out of his hand.
He had borrowed the tin trunk and was giving me a travesty on Tip Pulsifer fleeing over the mountain from his petulant spouse: for last night Tim and I had had a little tiff. For the first time I had forgotten the post-prandial pipe, and undismayed by the horrors of the famine in India or the tribulations of Sister Flora Martin, journeyed up the road to sit at Mary's side.

At the present moment the source of his satisfaction was the fact that he had stopped my expedition to "Auntie's." "Let us enjoy ourselves to-night," he said with a laugh.
I must go by Ballycloran, Thady; will you walk as far as the avenue with me?" "Thank you, Captain Ussher, I'll not be going out of this just yet." "Ah, well; I see you're out with me for the tiff we had this morning. He's angry now, Father John, just through my telling him he couldn't count all the money he'd received this week."
