_ The case lies in a nutshell , my dear : there is a man who swears that Honor McBride was behind the chapel , with Randal Rooney putting a ring on her finger , when the clock struck twelve , and our workmen 's bell rang this morning . Honor avers she was at Bob 's Fort with you : now as she could not be , like a bird , in two places at once -- was she with you ? _ Mrs. Carv . _ Honor McBride was with me when the workmen 's bell rang , and when the clock struck twelve , this day -- she stayed with me till two o'clock . -LSB- _ All the ROONIES , except CATTY , exclaim -- _ Oh , no going beyond the lady 's word ! _ Mrs. Carv . _ And I think it but justice to add , that Honor McBride has this day given me such proofs of her being a good girl , a good daughter , and a good sister , that she has secured my good opinion and good wishes for life .
