Page 123 of The White Lady

Constance had been in Rushville two weeks and two days, and there was much yet to be done, but she felt that Norah might be able to do it with some help; so, securing Jimmy's mother to stay nights in the house and to help Norah, Constance went after her grandmother. She felt that the hardest part of her task was now before her, to get rid of the maid and to induce her grandmother to be happy for the summer in Rushville.

One fear she had, and that was that Norah would in some way hear about the ghost who was supposed to haunt the house, and that her Irish superstition would take alarm.
