"
Hear
,
hear
!
"
said
Mr.
Browne
loudly
.
"
But
yet
,
"
continued
Gabriel
,
his
voice
falling
into
a
softer
inflection
,
"
there
are
always
in
gatherings
such
as
this
sadder
thoughts
that
will
recur
to
our
minds
:
thoughts
of
the
past
,
of
youth
,
of
changes
,
of
absent
faces
that
we
miss
here
tonight
.
Our
path
through
life
is
strewn
with
many
such
sad
memories
:
and
were
we
to
brood
upon
them
always
we
could
not
find
the
heart
to
go
on
bravely
with
our
work
among
the
living
.
We
have
all
of
us
living
duties
and
living
affections
which
claim
,
and
rightly
claim
,
our
strenuous
endeavours
.
"
Therefore
,
I
will
not
linger
on
the
past
.
I
will
not
let
any
gloomy
moralising
intrude
upon
us
here
tonight
.
Here
we
are
gathered
together
for
a
brief
moment
from
the
bustle
and
rush
of
our
everyday
routine
.
We
are
met
here
as
friends
,
in
the
spirit
of
good-fellowship
,
as
colleagues
,
also
to
a
certain
extent
,
in
the
true
spirit
of
camaraderie
,
and
as
the
guests
of
--
what
shall
I
call
them
?
--
the
Three
Graces
of
the
Dublin
musical
world
.
"
The
table
burst
into
applause
and
laughter
at
this
allusion
.
Aunt
Julia
vainly
asked
each
of
her
neighbours
in
turn
to
tell
her
what
Gabriel
had
said
.
"
He
says
we
are
the
Three
Graces
,
Aunt
Julia
,
"
said
Mary
Jane
.
Aunt
Julia
did
not
understand
but
she
looked
up
,
smiling
,
at
Gabriel
,
who
continued
in
the
same
vein
:
"
Ladies
and
Gentlemen
,
"
I
will
not
attempt
to
play
tonight
the
part
that
Paris
played
on
another
occasion
.
I
will
not
attempt
to
choose
between
them
.
The
task
would
be
an
invidious
one
and
one
beyond
my
poor
powers
.
For
when
I
view
them
in
turn
,
whether
it
be
our
chief
hostess
herself
,
whose
good
heart
,
whose
too
good
heart
,
has
become
a
byword
with
all
who
know
her
,
or
her
sister
,
who
seems
to
be
gifted
with
perennial
youth
and
whose
singing
must
have
been
a
surprise
and
a
revelation
to
us
all
tonight
,
or
,
last
but
not
least
,
when
I
consider
our
youngest
hostess
,
talented
,
cheerful
,
hard-working
and
the
best
of
nieces
,
I
confess
,
Ladies
and
Gentlemen
,
that
I
do
not
know
to
which
of
them
I
should
award
the
prize
.
"
Gabriel
glanced
down
at
his
aunts
and
,
seeing
the
large
smile
on
Aunt
Julia
's
face
and
the
tears
which
had
risen
to
Aunt
Kate
's
eyes
,
hastened
to
his
close
.
He
raised
his
glass
of
port
gallantly
,
while
every
member
of
the
company
fingered
a
glass
expectantly
,
and
said
loudly
:
