When
the
lancers
were
over
Gabriel
went
away
to
a
remote
corner
of
the
room
where
Freddy
Malins
'
mother
was
sitting
.
She
was
a
stout
feeble
old
woman
with
white
hair
.
Her
voice
had
a
catch
in
it
like
her
son
's
and
she
stuttered
slightly
.
She
had
been
told
that
Freddy
had
come
and
that
he
was
nearly
all
right
.
Gabriel
asked
her
whether
she
had
had
a
good
crossing
.
She
lived
with
her
married
daughter
in
Glasgow
and
came
to
Dublin
on
a
visit
once
a
year
.
She
answered
placidly
that
she
had
had
a
beautiful
crossing
and
that
the
captain
had
been
most
attentive
to
her
.
She
spoke
also
of
the
beautiful
house
her
daughter
kept
in
Glasgow
,
and
of
all
the
friends
they
had
there
.
While
her
tongue
rambled
on
Gabriel
tried
to
banish
from
his
mind
all
memory
of
the
unpleasant
incident
with
Miss
Ivors
.
Of
course
the
girl
or
woman
,
or
whatever
she
was
,
was
an
enthusiast
but
there
was
a
time
for
all
things
.
Perhaps
he
ought
not
to
have
answered
her
like
that
.
But
she
had
no
right
to
call
him
a
West
Briton
before
people
,
even
in
joke
.
She
had
tried
to
make
him
ridiculous
before
people
,
heckling
him
and
staring
at
him
with
her
rabbit
's
eyes
.

He
saw
his
wife
making
her
way
towards
him
through
the
waltzing
couples
.
When
she
reached
him
she
said
into
his
ear
:
"
Gabriel
.
Aunt
Kate
wants
to
know
wo
n't
you
carve
the
goose
as
usual
.
Miss
Daly
will
carve
the
ham
and
I
'll
do
the
pudding
.
"
"
All
right
,
"
said
Gabriel
.
"
She
's
sending
in
the
younger
ones
first
as
soon
as
this
waltz
is
over
so
that
we
'll
have
the
table
to
ourselves
.

"
Were
you
dancing
?
"
asked
Gabriel
.
"
Of
course
I
was
.
Did
n't
you
see
me
?
What
row
had
you
with
Molly
Ivors
?
"
"
No
row
.
Why
?
Did
she
say
so
?
