"Then the people who send them should be ashamed! But what about the other half of their time that they spend from home?" His looks betray his wish. And Mona, stooping, very willingly bestows upon him one of the sweetest little kisses imaginable. But yet there were those who did not acknowledge the new-comer, in spite of his wealth and the romantic story attaching to him, and the possibility that he might yet be proved to be the rightful baronet and the possessor of all the goodly lands that spread for miles around. Of these the Duchess of Lauderdale was one; but then she was always slow to acknowledge new blood, or people unhappy enough to have a history. And Lady Lilias Eaton was another; but she was a young and earnest disciple of æstheticism, and gave little thought to anything save Gothic windows, lilies, and unleavened bread.

Are we dirtier than the canny Scots on whom your queen bestows so much of her society? Tell me that!" "Why on earth," says Nolly, "can't they tell each other, what they have told the world long ago, that they adore each other? It is so jolly senseless, don't you know?"
