He
continued
scraping
his
feet
vigorously
while
the
three
women
went
upstairs
,
laughing
,
to
the
ladies
'
dressing-room
.
A
light
fringe
of
snow
lay
like
a
cape
on
the
shoulders
of
his
overcoat
and
like
toecaps
on
the
toes
of
his
goloshes
;
and
,
as
the
buttons
of
his
overcoat
slipped
with
a
squeaking
noise
through
the
snow-stiffened
frieze
,
a
cold
,
fragrant
air
from
out-of-doors
escaped
from
crevices
and
folds
.
"
Is
it
snowing
again
,
Mr.
Conroy
?
"
asked
Lily
.
She
had
preceded
him
into
the
pantry
to
help
him
off
with
his
overcoat
.
Gabriel
smiled
at
the
three
syllables
she
had
given
his
surname
and
glanced
at
her
.
She
was
a
slim
;
growing
girl
,
pale
in
complexion
and
with
hay-coloured
hair
.
The
gas
in
the
pantry
made
her
look
still
paler
.
Gabriel
had
known
her
when
she
was
a
child
and
used
to
sit
on
the
lowest
step
nursing
a
rag
doll
.

"
Yes
,
Lily
,
"
he
answered
,
"
and
I
think
we
're
in
for
a
night
of
it
.
"
He
looked
up
at
the
pantry
ceiling
,
which
was
shaking
with
the
stamping
and
shuffling
of
feet
on
the
floor
above
,
listened
for
a
moment
to
the
piano
and
then
glanced
at
the
girl
,
who
was
folding
his
overcoat
carefully
at
the
end
of
a
shelf
.
"
Tell
me
.
Lily
,
"
he
said
in
a
friendly
tone
,
"
do
you
still
go
to
school
?
"
"
O
no
,
sir
,
"
she
answered
.
"
I
'm
done
schooling
this
year
and
more
.

"
O
,
then
,
"
said
Gabriel
gaily
,
"
I
suppose
we
'll
be
going
to
your
wedding
one
of
these
fine
days
with
your
young
man
,
eh
?
"
The
girl
glanced
back
at
him
over
her
shoulder
and
said
with
great
bitterness
:
"
The
men
that
is
now
is
only
all
palaver
and
what
they
can
get
out
of
you
.
"
