Soon the magpie flew away, and as he passed near the herd of buffalo he saw the young woman there, and alighting on the ground near her, he began to pick at things, turning his head this way and that, and seeming to look for food. When he was close to the girl he said to her, "Your father is waiting by the wallow." "Lady Lilias Eaton, you mean?" asks Lady Rodney. "That reminds me we are bound to go over there to-morrow. At least, some of us." "You can see it now if you wish," says Mona, quickly, the thought that she may be able to entertain him in some fashion that will not require conversation is dear to her.

On the contrary, poor soul, he is found by Geoffrey either digging up his potatoes or stocking his turf for winter use. "But perhaps she will refuse you," says Mona, demurely. "It was a feeble effort," declares he, contemptuously striking with his cane the trunks of the trees as he goes by them..
