In this part of the story, Miss Pryor suggested to Mr. Le Poer that they would go and visit somewhere like Tranmere, so that Zillah could learn to relax. Instead, they remained at the Liverpool shore, where he had a surprise for them, "After staying a night in Liverpool, instead of crossing to the opposite shore, as I expected, he put us all- that is, Zillah, the two girls, and myself-on board the Belfast boat, and there we found ourselves floating across the Irish Channel" (pg. 61).

In this part of the story, Nelly is having a talk with a lame girl in the Church. The lame girl is carrying a bottle containing Lourdes water, which is said to have healing properties, "Our Blessed Lady cures folks who go there to use the water" (47). It's interesting to hear this since this shows Catholics have faith in healing water. Indeed according to the footnote, "Lourdes water flows from a spring in Lourdes, France, a site of Catholic pilgrimage after the report of a vision there of the Virgin Mary in 1858. The water is believed by some Catholics to have healing properties".
