"You think a few grandfathers and an old name make one: I dare say it does. It ought, you know; though I could tell you of several striking exceptions to that rule.

"I am so glad you are poor," says Mona. "If you were rich or even well off, I should never consent,—never!" The woman went on and got the water, and when she came back she took the stone and gave it to her husband, telling him about the song and what the stone had said. "You mustn't think I supposed you kept it for any other purpose," he says, quite solemnly, and in such a depressed tone that Mona almost feels sorry for him. "Yes," replied Scarface, "I saw them.".
