"Miss Kelly, might I talk to you later?" "Not if what you're going to say will cause trouble for me in some way or another." "9:00 mass is over, girls." " Now." " Thank you." " One moment, please." " Excuse me." "And some rashers and some cheese." "Mrs Brady, what would you like this morning?" " Half a dozen rashers, please." " Of course." "Eilis will get that for you now." " I was next." " And you still are." " Yes?" " I need some shoe polish." "Shoe polish?" "That's not really a Sunday item, now, is it?" "These people need things for their dinner or their tea." "Why couldn't you have remembered yesterday?" "Because it looks like you needed it yesterday." "I'm sorry." "Miss Kelly..." "I hadn't forgotten." "Spit it out, whatever it is." "I'm away to America." "Whose idea was that?" "Father Flood in New York arranged it." "Rose used to play golf with him." "He sponsored me." "And he found me a job and got me a visa." "Well, we won't be needing you back here." "I could work every Sunday till I go." "No, thank you." " Your poor sister." " My sister?" "Well, mothers are always being left behind in this country." "But Rose, that's the end for her now, isn't it?" "She'll be looking after your mother for the rest of her life."
