  1. Here comes the telegraph boy. Something tells me that he is the bearer of bad news. See! he is hurrying towards the house, and he wears a rather sad look on his face. Ah, it is as I guessed" The white star liner has been smashed on the rocks near the coast of Connemara and poor Aunt Nora has perished. What will poor mother do at all? I know that she will feel it very much. I had better not tell her at once. Let me see. i will send the messenger boy away and break the news to her as gently as I can. I hope she will not take things too badly.
