When Ethel had addressed the envelope she turned and saw Peg smoking, sitting on the edge of the table, watching Ethel with a mischievous twinkle in her eye.
Ethel impatiently threw her cigarette on to the ash tray on the desk.
Peg did the same action identically into a tray on the table.
Ethel rose indignantly and faced Peg.
"Why do you watch me?"
"Aunt told me to. Aren't ye me model? I'm to mould meself on you, sure!"
Ethel turned away furiously and began to ascend the stairs.
Peg followed her and called up to her:
"May I talk to ye?"
"You were told to study," replied Ethel, angrily.
