The latter was greatly surprised when the Queen handed it to her, and could not imagine how she had been clever enough to catch the flies.

The idea of Hannah Ann in any such state of loving frenzy was irresistible, and they all pealed out their appreciation of Judith's picture of the grim elderly housekeeper of Greycroft.
