She took out her purse with the silver clasps and read again the words A Present from Belfast. | in | in the |
She was very fond of that purse because Joe had brought it to her five years before when he and Alphy had gone to Belfast on a Whit-Monday trip. | the | the sun |
In the purse were two half-crowns and some coppers. | sun | sun i |

Only she hoped that Joe wouldn’t come in drunk. | old | old cotter |

Often he had wanted her to go and live with them; but she would have felt herself in the way (though Joe’s wife was ever so nice with her) and she had become accustomed to the life of the laundry. | s | s words |
Joe was a good fellow. | words | words and |
She had nursed him and Alphy too; and Joe used often say: “Mamma is mamma but Maria is my proper mother.” After the break-up at home the boys had got her that position in the Dublin by Lamplight laundry, and she liked it. | and | and tried |

When the cook told her everything was ready she went into the women’s room and began to pull the big bell. | had | had happened |
In a few minutes the women began to come in by twos and threes, wiping their steaming hands in their petticoats and pulling down the sleeves of their blouses over their red steaming arms. | happened | happened afterwards |
They settled down before their huge mugs which the cook and the dummy filled up with hot tea, already mixed with milk and sugar in huge tin cans. | afterwards | afterwards in |
Maria superintended the distribution of the barmbrack and saw that every woman got her four slices. | in | in the |
There was a great deal of laughing and joking during the meal. | the | the dream |
Lizzie Fleming said Maria was sure to get the ring and, though Fleming had said that for so many Hallow Eves, Maria had to laugh and say she didn’t want any ring or man either; and when she laughed her grey-green eyes sparkled with disappointed shyness and the tip of her nose nearly met the tip of her chin. | dream | dream i |
Then Ginger Mooney lifted up her mug of tea and proposed Maria’s health while all the other women clattered with their mugs on the table, and said she was sorry she hadn’t a sup of porter to drink it in. | i | i remembered |
And Maria laughed again till the tip of her nose nearly met the tip of her chin and till her minute body nearly shook itself asunder because she knew that Mooney meant well though, of course, she had the notions of a common woman. | remembered | remembered that |
But wasn’t Maria glad when the women had finished their tea and the cook and the dummy had begun to clear away the tea-things! | that | that i |
She went into her little bedroom and, remembering that the next morning was a mass morning, changed the hand of the alarm from seven to six. | i | i had |
Then she took off her working skirt and her house-boots and laid her best skirt out on the bed and her tiny dress-boots beside the foot of the bed. | had | had noticed |
She changed her blouse too and, as she stood before the mirror, she thought of how she used to dress for mass on Sunday morning when she was a young girl; and she looked with quaint affection at the diminutive body which she had so often adorned. | noticed | noticed long |
In spite of its years she found it a nice tidy little body. | long | long velvet |
When she got outside the streets were shining with rain and she was glad of her old brown waterproof. | velvet | velvet curtains |
The tram was full and she had to sit on the little stool at the end of the car, facing all the people, with her toes barely touching the floor. | curtains | curtains and |
She arranged in her mind all she was going to do and thought how much better it was to be independent and to have your own money in your pocket. | and | and a |
She hoped they would have a nice evening. | a | a swinging |
She was sure they would but she could not help thinking what a pity it was Alphy and Joe were not speaking. | swinging | swinging lamp |
They were always falling out now but when they were boys together they used to be the best of friends: but such was life. | lamp | lamp of |
She got out of her tram at the Pillar and ferreted her way quickly among the crowds. | of | of antique |
She went into Downes’s cake-shop but the shop was so full of people that it was a long time before she could get herself attended to. | antique | antique fashion |
She bought a dozen of mixed penny cakes, and at last came out of the shop laden with a big bag. | fashion | fashion i |
Then she thought what else would she buy: she wanted to buy something really nice. | i | i felt |
They would be sure to have plenty of apples and nuts. | felt | felt that |
It was hard to know what to buy and all she could think of was cake. | that | that i |
She decided to buy some plumcake but Downes’s plumcake had not enough almond icing on top of it so she went over to a shop in Henry Street. | i | i had |
Here she was a long time in suiting herself and the stylish young lady behind the counter, who was evidently a little annoyed by her, asked her was it wedding-cake she wanted to buy. | had | had been |
That made Maria blush and smile at the young lady; but the young lady took it all very seriously and finally cut a thick slice of plumcake, parcelled it up and said: “Two-and-four, please.” She thought she would have to stand in the Drumcondra tram because none of the young men seemed to notice her but an elderly gentleman made room for her. | been | been very |
He was a stout gentleman and he wore a brown hard hat; he had a square red face and a greyish moustache. | very | very far |
Maria thought he was a colonel-looking gentleman and she reflected how much more polite he was than the young men who simply stared straight before them. | far | far away |
The gentleman began to chat with her about Hallow Eve and the rainy weather. | away | away in |
He supposed the bag was full of good things for the little ones and said it was only right that the youngsters should enjoy themselves while they were young. | in | in some |
Maria agreed with him and favoured him with demure nods and hems. | some | some land |
He was very nice with her, and when she was getting out at the Canal Bridge she thanked him and bowed, and he bowed to her and raised his hat and smiled agreeably, and while she was going up along the terrace, bending her tiny head under the rain, she thought how easy it was to know a gentleman even when he has a drop taken. | land | land where |
Everybody said: “O, here’s Maria!” when she came to Joe’s house. | where | where the |

Maria gave the bag of cakes to the eldest boy, Alphy, to divide and Mrs Donnelly said it was too good of her to bring such a big bag of cakes and made all the children say: “Thanks, Maria.” But Maria said she had brought something special for papa and mamma, something they would be sure to like, and she began to look for her plumcake. | were | were persia |
She tried in Downes’s bag and then in the pockets of her waterproof and then on the hallstand but nowhere could she find it. | persia | persia i |
Then she asked all the children had any of them eaten it—by mistake, of course—but the children all said no and looked as if they did not like to eat cakes if they were to be accused of stealing. | i | i thought |
Everybody had a solution for the mystery and Mrs Donnelly said it was plain that Maria had left it behind her in the tram. | thought | thought but |
Maria, remembering how confused the gentleman with the greyish moustache had made her, coloured with shame and vexation and disappointment. | but | but i |
At the thought of the failure of her little surprise and of the two and fourpence she had thrown away for nothing she nearly cried outright. | i | i could |
But Joe said it didn’t matter and made her sit down by the fire. | could | could not |
He was very nice with her. | not | not remember |
He told her all that went on in his office, repeating for her a smart answer which he had made to the manager. | remember | remember the |
Maria did not understand why Joe laughed so much over the answer he had made but she said that the manager must have been a very overbearing person to deal with. | the | the end |
Joe said he wasn’t so bad when you knew how to take him, that he was a decent sort so long as you didn’t rub him the wrong way. | end | end of |
Mrs Donnelly played the piano for the children and they danced and sang. | of | of the |
Then the two next-door girls handed round the nuts. | the | the dream |
Nobody could find the nutcrackers and Joe was nearly getting cross over it and asked how did they expect Maria to crack nuts without a nutcracker. | dream | dream in |
But Maria said she didn’t like nuts and that they weren’t to bother about her. | in | in the |
Then Joe asked would she take a bottle of stout and Mrs Donnelly said there was port wine too in the house if she would prefer that. | the | the evening |
Maria said she would rather they didn’t ask her to take anything: but Joe insisted. | evening | evening my |
So Maria let him have his way and they sat by the fire talking over old times and Maria thought she would put in a good word for Alphy. | my | my aunt |
But Joe cried that God might strike him stone dead if ever he spoke a word to his brother again and Maria said she was sorry she had mentioned the matter. | aunt | aunt took |
Mrs Donnelly told her husband it was a great shame for him to speak that way of his own flesh and blood but Joe said that Alphy was no brother of his and there was nearly being a row on the head of it. | took | took me |
But Joe said he would not lose his temper on account of the night it was and asked his wife to open some more stout. | me | me with |
The two next-door girls had arranged some Hallow Eve games and soon everything was merry again. | with | with her |
Maria was delighted to see the children so merry and Joe and his wife in such good spirits. | her | her to |
The next-door girls put some saucers on the table and then led the children up to the table, blindfold. | to | to visit |
One got the prayer-book and the other three got the water; and when one of the next-door girls got the ring Mrs Donnelly shook her finger at the blushing girl as much as to say: O, I know all about it! | visit | visit the |
They insisted then on blindfolding Maria and leading her up to the table to see what she would get; and, while they were putting on the bandage, Maria laughed and laughed again till the tip of her nose nearly met the tip of her chin. | the | the house |
They led her up to the table amid laughing and joking and she put her hand out in the air as she was told to do. | house | house of |
She moved her hand about here and there in the air and descended on one of the saucers. | of | of mourning |
She felt a soft wet substance with her fingers and was surprised that nobody spoke or took off her bandage. | mourning | mourning it |
There was a pause for a few seconds; and then a great deal of scuffling and whispering. | it | it was |
Somebody said something about the garden, and at last Mrs Donnelly said something very cross to one of the next-door girls and told her to throw it out at once: that was no play. | was | was after |
Maria understood that it was wrong that time and so she had to do it over again: and this time she got the prayer-book. | after | after sunset |
After that Mrs Donnelly played Miss McCloud’s Reel for the children and Joe made Maria take a glass of wine. | sunset | sunset but |
Soon they were all quite merry again and Mrs Donnelly said Maria would enter a convent before the year was out because she had got the prayer-book. | but | but the |
Maria had never seen Joe so nice to her as he was that night, so full of pleasant talk and reminiscences. | the | the of |
She said they were all very good to her. | of | of the |
At last the children grew tired and sleepy and Joe asked Maria would she not sing some little song before she went, one of the old songs. | the | the houses |
Mrs Donnelly said “Do, please, Maria!” and so Maria had to get up and stand beside the piano. | houses | houses that |
Mrs Donnelly bade the children be quiet and listen to Maria’s song. | that | that looked |
Then she played the prelude and said “Now, Maria!” and Maria, blushing very much began to sing in a tiny quavering voice. | looked | looked to |
She sang I Dreamt that I Dwelt, and when she came to the second verse she sang again: I dreamt that I dwelt in marble halls With vassals and serfs at my side And of all who assembled within those walls That I was the hope and the pride. | to | to the |
I had riches too great to count, could boast Of a high ancestral name, But I also dreamt, which pleased me most, That you loved me still the same. | the | the west |
But no one tried to show her her mistake; and when she had ended her song Joe was very much moved. | west | west reflected |
He said that there was no time like the long ago and no music for him like poor old Balfe, whatever other people might say; and his eyes filled up so much with tears that he could not find what he was looking for and in the end he had to ask his wife to tell him where the corkscrew was. | reflected | reflected the |
