"A few lessons from Mrs. O'Toole," suggested nurse, modestly.
"Ah yes, Mrs. O'Toole would be invaluable."
"See that, now," said nurse, with a triumphant look, as she retired.
"That's a great character," I remarked.
"And a good one; I do love nurse!" returned Miss Vernon.
"She is thoroughly Irish; an Englishman seldom appreciates such a character," said her grandfather.
"But I may do so, I am half Irish; my mother was a De Burgh," I exclaimed eagerly.
"Indeed!" said Miss Vernon.
"Oh, I remember something of that," observed Colonel Vernon.
