Mona starts violently, and draws back; shame and indignation cover her. Her breath comes in little gasps. "I have heard of it. A third son would be poor, of course, and—and worldly people would not think so much of him as of others. Is that so?" At home—in Sydney, I mean—the life was different.

"You have kept your promise," returns he, solemnly, pressing her face still closer against his chest. "I think every one is to be pitied; and Jack more than most,—after dear Nicholas," she says, gently, with such a kindly glance at Violet as goes straight to that young woman's heart, and grows and blossoms there forever after. She would have gone to him then, and tried to console him in her own pretty fashion, but he motions her to stay where she is. "Tired!" says Geoffrey, hastily. "No, indeed. What could tire of anything so divine? If it is your wish, it is mine also, that we should stay here for a little while longer." Then, struck by the intense relief in her face, he goes on: "How you do enjoy the beauties of Nature! Do you know I have been studying you since you came here, and I could see how your whole soul was wrapped in the glory of the surrounding prospect? You had no thoughts left for other objects,—not even one for me. For the first time," softly, "I learned to be jealous of inanimate things.".
