"Poor infant! It is her first essay," says Nolly, pitifully. The naivete of this speech is not to be surpassed. THE CAMP OF THE GHOSTS "Oh, no! no!" says Mona, shrinking from him. "Why cherish such revenge in your heart? Would you kill me too, that you speak like this? Fling such thoughts far from you, and strive after good. Revenge is the food of fools.".
