"Old Johnny Christopher, for one. I met him last night at the 'Horse and
Saddle.' 'Grand doings at the Big House, they're telling me,' says
Johnny. 'I won't say no,' I says. 'It'll be a proud day for the
grand-daughter of Neill the Lord when she's mistress of Castle Raa,'
says Johnny. 'Maybe so,' I says, 'but it'll be a prouder day for Castle
Raa when she sets her clane little foot in it.'"
