From The Servant in the House by Charles Rann Kennedy

They'd all turn to dust and ashes in your hand. That last bit is what Grannie Durden said. (MANSON: Who's she?) She's the poor old woman I've been having breakfast with. Do you know, she said a funny thing about wishing. I must tell you first that she's quite blind and very deaf-- Well, she's been wishing ever so long to see and hear; and at last she says she can!
