Ward stated that after the fire was going merrily, ahe went down to supervise it and there found Mr. Beresford waiting at the boundary line to greet her. The greeting, she said, consisted in characterising hor mother and herself as “two old devila,” embellishing the designation with the statement that “If you insist on smoke I’ smoke you out and give you hell besides!"
