Mrs.
Calligan
was
alone
when
she
arrived
and
was
delighted
to
see
her
.
After
exchanging
the
gossip
of
the
day
,
and
not
knowing
quite
how
to
proceed
in
connection
with
the
errand
which
had
brought
her
,
she
went
to
the
piano
and
played
a
melancholy
air
.
"
Sure
,
it
's
lovely
the
way
you
play
,
Aileen
,
"
observed
Mrs.
Calligan
who
was
unduly
sentimental
herself
.
"
I
love
to
hear
you
.
I
wish
you
'd
come
oftener
to
see
us
.
You
're
so
rarely
here
nowadays
.
"
"
Oh
,
I
've
been
so
busy
,
Mrs.
Calligan
,
"
replied
Aileen
.
"
I
've
had
so
much
to
do
this
fall
,
I
just
could
n't
.
They
wanted
me
to
go
to
Europe
;
but
I
did
n't
care
to
.
Oh
,
dear
!
"
she
sighed
,
and
in
her
playing
swept
off
with
a
movement
of
sad
,
romantic
significance
.
The
door
opened
and
Mamie
came
in
.
Her
commonplace
face
brightened
at
the
sight
of
Aileen
.
"
Well
,
Aileen
Butler
!
"
she
exclaimed
.
"
Where
did
you
come
from
?
Where
have
you
been
keeping
yourself
so
long
?
"
Aileen
rose
to
exchange
kisses
.
"
Oh
,
I
've
been
very
busy
,
Mamie
.
I
've
just
been
telling
your
mother
.
How
are
you
,
anyway
?
How
are
you
getting
along
in
your
work
?
"
Mamie
recounted
at
once
some
school
difficulties
which
were
puzzling
her
--
the
growing
size
of
classes
and
the
amount
of
work
expected
.
While
Mrs.
Calligan
was
setting
the
table
Mamie
went
to
her
room
and
Aileen
followed
her
.
As
she
stood
before
her
mirror
arranging
her
hair
Aileen
looked
at
her
meditatively
.
"
What
's
the
matter
with
you
,
Aileen
,
to-day
?
"
Mamie
asked
.
"
You
look
so
--
"
She
stopped
to
give
her
a
second
glance
.
"
How
do
I
look
?
"
asked
Aileen
.
