"So, my dear, you see that your mother was right in putting faith in her quotation, 'Most women have no characters at all.'" "May I niver glimpse the blissid blue av Ireland's skies ag'in, if I spake a lie," said Harry, earnestly. "In the ha'nted house I found ut, Billy. Wait now, and I tell ye how ut so happened.
