Turning to him in response, she rubs her soft cheek slowly up and down against his. Geoffrey with all his heart envies the dog. How she seems to love it! how it seems to love her! "It is a very late hour for any one to be on the public road," says Lady Rodney, unpleasantly, quite forgetting that people, as a rule, do not go abroad in pale-blue satin gowns, and that therefore some time must have elapsed between Mona's return from her walk and the donning of her present attire. And so she overreaches herself, as clever people will do, at times..

"And perhaps unused to society," puts in Violet, mildly. As she speaks she picks up a tiny feather that has clung to her gown, and lightly blows it away from her into the air. "I am afraid you are right," says Mona. "Oh, why did you come over at all?" "I dare say," she says, carelessly, purposely mistaking his meaning: "it must have been cold lying there." "I am so glad you are poor," says Mona. "If you were rich or even well off, I should never consent,—never!".
