"She is all your fancy could possibly paint her; she is lovely and divine. Don't try to analyze her charms, my dear Geoff. She is just the prettiest and sweetest woman I ever met.

Her laugh is so sweet, so full of enjoyment.".

"And 'A dumb priest loses his benefice,'" quotes Mona, in her turn, almost gayly too..
