Don't you remember?'

'Of course I do. And what a jolly ball that was! I never amused myself
so much in my life. If the balls at the Castle are as good, they will
do. But wasn't it sad, you know, about poor Lord Kilcarney receiving the
news of his brother's murder just at that moment? I can see him now,
rushing out of the room.'

Violet's manner did not betoken in the least that she thought it sad,

mistress's wardrobes. The ruby dress, however, drew forth many little
cries of admiration. Then an argument was started concerning the colour
of hair, and, before the glass with hairpins and lithe movements of the
back and loins, the girls explained their favourite coiffures.

'But, Alice, you haven't opened your lips, and you haven't shown me your
dresses.'

'Barnes will show you my dinner-frocks, but I don't think as much about
what I wear as Olive does.'

Violet quickly understood, but, with clever dissimulation, she examined
and praised the black silk trimmed with red ribbons. 'She's angry
