'Shure there misht be a gathering at the big house this evening.'
'But tell me, mamma,' said Olive, after a long silence, 'how much
champagne ought I to drink at dinner? You know, it is a long time since
I have tasted it. Indeed, I don't remember that I ever did taste it.'
Mrs. Barton laughed softly:
'Well, my dear, I don't think that two glasses could do you any harm;

'No, dear, she is not dead; but it would be better, perhaps, if she
were. She behaved very badly. Lord Dungory had to get a separation. No

At this moment the carriage stopped before a modern house, built between
two massive Irish towers entirely covered with huge ivy.
