Mrs. Doran stared at the speaker, and said, “And what are the few things you wish for most?”
“Nice dresses, and books, and pretty things, and not having to wash clothes, and scour.”
“Still, you were fond of poultry?”
“No, I never wish to see another hen; but I do love flowers.”
“I suppose you have no plans as yet?”
Mary paused and looked interrogatively at Miss Usher. “I believe we are going to England soon.”
“Never to return, eh, Mary?” She asked persuasively, with her head on one side.
“I don’t know.”
“I presume Lord Mulgrave has a London house?”
“That’s more than I can tell ye.”
