Often
he
had
wanted
her
to
go
and
live
with
them
;
-
but
she
would
have
felt
herself
in
the
way
(
though
Joe
's
wife
was
ever
so
nice
with
her
)
and
she
had
become
accustomed
to
the
life
of
the
laundry
.
Joe
was
a
good
fellow
.
She
had
nursed
him
and
Alphy
too
;
and
Joe
used
often
say
:
632
"
Mamma
is
mamma
but
Maria
is
my
proper
mother
.
"
633
After
the
break-up
at
home
the
boys
had
got
her
that
position
in
the
Dublin
by
Lamplight
laundry
,
and
she
liked
it
.
She
used
to
have
such
a
bad
opinion
of
Protestants
but
now
she
thought
they
were
very
nice
people
,
a
little
quiet
and
serious
,
but
still
very
nice
people
to
live
with
.
Then
she
had
her
plants
in
the
conservatory
and
she
liked
looking
after
them
.
She
had
lovely
ferns
and
wax-plants
and
,
whenever
anyone
came
to
visit
her
,
she
always
gave
the
visitor
one
or
two
slips
from
her
conservatory
.
There
was
one
thing
she
did
n't
like
and
that
was
the
tracts
on
the
walks
;
but
the
matron
was
such
a
nice
person
to
deal
with
,
so
genteel
.

When
the
cook
told
her
everything
was
ready
she
went
into
the
women
's
room
and
began
to
pull
the
big
bell
.
635
In
a
few
minutes
the
women
began
to
come
in
by
twos
and
threes
,
wiping
their
steaming
hands
in
their
petticoats
and
pulling
down
the
sleeves
of
their
blouses
over
their
red
steaming
arms
.
They
settled
down
before
their
huge
mugs
which
the
cook
and
the
dummy
filled
up
with
hot
tea
,
already
mixed
with
milk
and
sugar
in
huge
tin
cans
.
Maria
superintended
the
distribution
of
the
barmbrack
and
saw
that
every
woman
got
her
four
slices
.
There
was
a
great
deal
of
laughing
and
joking
during
the
meal
.
Lizzie
Fleming
said
Maria
was
sure
to
get
the
ring
and
,
though
Fleming
had
said
that
for
so
many
Hallow
Eves
,
Maria
had
to
laugh
and
say
she
did
n't
want
any
ring
or
man
either
;
and
when
she
laughed
her
grey-green
eyes
sparkled
with
disappointed
shyness
and
the
tip
of
her
nose
nearly
met
the
tip
of
her
chin
.
Then
Ginger
Mooney
lifted
her
mug
of
tea
and
proposed
Maria
's
health
while
all
the
other
women
clattered
with
their
mugs
on
the
table
,
and
said
she
was
sorry
she
had
n't
a
sup
of
porter
to
drink
it
in
.
And
Maria
laughed
again
till
the
tip
of
her
nose
nearly
met
the
tip
of
her
chin
and
till
her
minute
body
nearly
shook
itself
asunder
because
she
knew
that
Mooney
meant
well
though
,
of
course
,
she
had
the
notions
of
a
common
woman
.
636
But
was
n't
Maria
glad
when
the
women
had
finished
their
tea
and
the
cook
and
the
dummy
had
begun
to
clear
away
the
tea-things
!
She
went
into
her
little
bedroom
and
,
remembering
that
the
next
morning
was
a
mass
morning
,
changed
the
hand
of
the
alarm
from
seven
to
six
.
637
Then
she
took
off
her
working
skirt
and
her
house-boots
and
laid
her
best
skirt
out
on
the
bed
and
her
tiny
dress-boots
beside
the
foot
of
the
bed
.
She
changed
her
blouse
too
and
,
as
she
stood
before
the
mirror
,
she
thought
of
how
she
used
to
dress
for
mass
on
Sunday
morning
when
she
was
a
young
girl
;
and
she
looked
with
quaint
affection
at
the
diminutive
body
which
she
had
so
often
adorned
,
In
spite
of
its
years
she
found
it
a
nice
tidy
little
body
.

When
she
got
outside
the
streets
were
shining
with
rain
and
she
was
glad
of
her
old
brown
waterproof
.
The
tram
was
full
and
she
had
to
sit
on
the
little
stool
at
the
end
of
the
car
,
facing
all
the
people
,
with
her
toes
barely
touching
the
floor
.
She
arranged
in
her
mind
all
she
was
going
to
do
and
thought
how
much
better
it
was
to
be
independent
and
to
have
your
own
money
in
your
pocket
.
She
hoped
they
would
have
a
nice
evening
.
She
was
sure
they
would
but
she
could
not
help
thinking
what
a
pity
it
was
Alphy
and
Joe
were
not
speaking
.
They
were
always
falling
out
now
but
when
they
were
boys
together
they
used
to
be
the
best
of
friends
:
but
such
was
life
.
639
She
got
out
of
her
tram
at
the
Pillar
and
ferreted
her
way
quickly
among
the
crowds
.
She
went
into
Downes
's
cake-shop
but
the
shop
was
so
full
of
people
that
it
was
a
long
time
before
she
could
get
herself
attended
to
.
She
bought
a
dozen
of
mixed
penny
cakes
,
and
at
last
came
out
of
the
shop
laden
with
a
big
bag
.
Then
she
thought
what
else
would
she
buy
:
she
wanted
to
buy
something
really
nice
.
640
They
would
be
sure
to
have
plenty
of
apples
and
nuts
.
It
was
hard
to
know
what
to
buy
and
all
she
could
think
of
was
cake
.
She
decided
to
buy
some
plumcake
but
Downes
's
plumcake
had
not
enough
almond
icing
on
top
of
it
so
she
went
over
to
a
shop
in
Henry
Street
.
Here
she
was
a
long
time
in
suiting
herself
and
the
stylish
young
lady
behind
the
counter
,
who
was
evidently
a
little
annoyed
by
her
,
asked
her
was
it
wedding-cake
she
wanted
to
buy
.
That
made
Maria
blush
and
smile
at
the
young
lady
;
but
the
young
lady
took
it
all
very
seriously
and
finally
cut
a
thick
slice
of
plumcake
,
parcelled
it
up
and
said
:
