Right through that stone it pierced a hole and let the sunlight in. "Late again, Jermyn," says Sir Nicholas, lazily. "How melancholy!" says Mona, with a nearer approach to brightness than she has shown all day. "You are right," he says, with growing vehemence: "no man would do it. It is such a brilliant chance, such a splendid scheme——." He checks himself suddenly. Mona looks at him curiously, but says nothing. In a second he recovers himself, and goes on: "Yet because I will not relinquish my just claim you look upon me with hatred and contempt.".
