Is not this enough? Mona, are you sure no other reason prevents your accepting me? Why do you hesitate?" He has grown a little pale in his turn, and is regarding her with intense and jealous earnestness. Why does she not answer him?

"I wish you could!" says Geoffrey from his heart. "I am always forgiving you, it seems to me," says Mona, coldly, turning from him with a frown.
