"He had to see the mare made up, and the pigs fed," says Mona. "He has often called you that; but,"—shyly,—"now that I have seen you, I don't think the name suits you a bit." "He is not strong, you see: a little thing knocks him up, and he is too impressionable for a public career. But you are different." "I really don't know, ma'am. Mitchell gave it to me," says the girl, in an injured tone. Now, Mitchell is Lady Rodney's maid..
