The women would have their tea at six o'clock and she would be able to get away before seven. From Ballsbridge to the Pillar twenty minutes from the Pillar to Drumcondra, twenty minutes. and twenty minutes to buy the things. She would be there before eight. She took out her purse with the silver clasps and read again the words A Present from Belfast. 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. In the purse were two half-crowns and some coppers. She would have five shillings clear after paying tram fare. What a nice evening they would have all the children singing Only she hoped that Joe wouldn't come in drunk. He was so different when he took any drink.
