Jerry looked at her as if imploring her not to anger her aunt any further. He shook Mrs. Chichester's hand and said:
"I'm sorry. Good night." He picked up his hat and coat and went to the door.
"Kindly remember me to your mother and sisters," added Mrs. Chichester gently.
"With pleasure," and Jerry opened the door.
"Good night, Misther Jerry," called Peg.
He turned and saw Peg deliberately pointing to the pathway and indicating that he was to meet her there.
Mrs. Chichester happened to look around just in time to catch her. Peg reddened and stood trapped.
Jerry went out.
The old lady looked at her for several moments without speaking. Finally she asked:
"What did you mean by dancing in that disgraceful way? And what did you mean by those signs you were making?"
