Mrs Kelly told her that it was not boiled and if she waited for a little while that she could have her dinner as the members of the house would soon be home from Mass. The strange woman, however, persisted and at last Mrs Kelly took a fork, lifted some cabbage with it and having cut it up finely with a table-knife gave it to the woman.
