Mrs. Wilson gazed sternly at Billy. "Willium, do you take Anson's tarts and pie?" she asked ominously. "I don't know, sir. I'll ascertain, sir," and the man disappeared. "So, my dear, you see that your mother was right in putting faith in her quotation, 'Most women have no characters at all.'" "It's born under a caul was I," he told them. "An' minny a mystery has been cleared up in ould Ireland be meself, I'm tellin' ye.".
