And
while
he
was
helping
himself
she
said
:
"
Do
n't
be
afraid
!
Don
t
be
afraid
of
it
!
"
Everything
went
on
smoothly
.
Mrs.
Kearney
bought
some
lovely
blush-pink
charmeuse
in
Brown
Thomas
's
to
let
into
the
front
of
Kathleen
's
dress
.
It
cost
a
pretty
penny
;
but
there
are
occasions
when
a
little
expense
is
justifiable
.
She
took
a
dozen
of
two-shilling
tickets
for
the
final
concert
and
sent
them
to
those
friends
who
could
not
be
trusted
to
come
otherwise
.
She
forgot
nothing
,
and
,
thanks
to
her
,
everything
that
was
to
be
done
was
done
.
The
concerts
were
to
be
on
Wednesday
,
Thursday
,
Friday
and
Saturday
.
When
Mrs.
Kearney
arrived
with
her
daughter
at
the
Antient
Concert
Rooms
on
Wednesday
night
she
did
not
like
the
look
of
things
.
A
few
young
men
,
wearing
bright
blue
badges
in
their
coats
,
stood
idle
in
the
vestibule
;
none
of
them
wore
evening
dress
.
She
passed
by
with
her
daughter
and
a
quick
glance
through
the
open
door
of
the
hall
showed
her
the
cause
of
the
stewards
'
idleness
.
At
first
she
wondered
had
she
mistaken
the
hour
.
No
,
it
was
twenty
minutes
to
eight
.
In
the
dressing-room
behind
the
stage
she
was
introduced
to
the
secretary
of
the
Society
,
Mr.
Fitzpatrick
.
She
smiled
and
shook
his
hand
.
He
was
a
little
man
,
with
a
white
,
vacant
face
.
She
noticed
that
he
wore
his
soft
brown
hat
carelessly
on
the
side
of
his
head
and
that
his
accent
was
flat
.
He
held
a
programme
in
his
hand
,
and
,
while
he
was
talking
to
her
,
he
chewed
one
end
of
it
into
a
moist
pulp
.
He
seemed
to
bear
disappointments
lightly
.
Mr.
Holohan
came
into
the
dressingroom
every
few
minutes
with
reports
from
the
box-office
.
The
artistes
talked
among
themselves
nervously
,
glanced
from
time
to
time
at
the
mirror
and
rolled
and
unrolled
their
music
.
When
it
was
nearly
half-past
eight
,
the
few
people
in
the
hall
began
to
express
their
desire
to
be
entertained
.
Mr.
Fitzpatrick
came
in
,
smiled
vacantly
at
the
room
,
and
said
:
"
Well
now
,
ladies
and
gentlemen
.
I
suppose
we
'd
better
open
the
ball
.
"
Mrs.
Kearney
rewarded
his
very
flat
final
syllable
with
a
quick
stare
of
contempt
,
and
then
said
to
her
daughter
encouragingly
:
"
Are
you
ready
,
dear
?
"
When
she
had
an
opportunity
,
she
called
Mr.
Holohan
aside
and
asked
him
to
tell
her
what
it
meant
.
Mr.
Holohan
did
not
know
what
it
meant
.
He
said
that
the
committee
had
made
a
mistake
in
arranging
for
four
concerts
:
four
was
too
many
.
