Miss Goold lived that part of her life which was not spent at political meetings or in the office of the _Croppy_ in a villa at Killiney.

A house agent would have described it as a most desirable residence, standing in its own grounds, overlooking the sea.

Its windows opened upon one of the best of the many beautiful views of Dublin Bay.

Its half-acre of pleasure ground--attended to by a jobbing gardener once a week--was trim and flowery.

Its brown gate shone with frequently renewed paint, and the drive up to the door was neatly raked.
