't look at her dresses first,' Olive interjected; and
Violet came to Alice's rescue with a question: 'Had they heard lately of
Lord Kilcarney?' Olive protested that she would sooner die than accept
such a little red-haired thing as that for a husband, and Violet laughed
delightedly.

'Anyway, you haven't those faults to find with a certain officer, now
stationed at Gort, who, if report speaks truly, is constantly seen
riding towards Brookfield.'

a gun under her arm.'

'I don't believe you; you only say that to annoy me,' cried Olive,
trembling with passion.

'I am not in the habit of telling lies, and don't know why you should
think I care to annoy you,' Violet replied, a little too definitely;
