“This is the fourth morning you’ve been late, Bridget,” said the mistress to her maid.
“Shure, Ma’am,” replied Bridget, “I over-slept meself.”
“Where is the clock I gave you?”
“In my room ma’am.”
“And do you set the alarm?”
“Every night.”
“But don’t you hear the alarm in the morning, Bridget?”
“No ma’am, thot’s the trouble you see the thing goes off while I’m asleep.”
