And the duchess is charmed, pleased beyond measure That faint touch about the wrinkles was the happiest of the happy. Only that morning her Grace, in spite of her unapproachable maid and unlimited care, had seen an additional line around her mouth that had warned her of youth's decline, and now to meet some one oblivious of this line is sweet to her.

"That is Mona's voice," says Doatie. "I must go. Finish your letters, and come for me then, and we can go into the garden and talk it all over again. Come in, Mona; I am here." Geoffrey, who has tears in his eyes, takes her in his arms and kisses her once softly, before them all. "I am glad of that," says Mona, nicely, as he pauses merely through a desire for breath, not from a desire for silence. "'Perdition catch my soul, but I do love thee,'" replies he, quite as softly..
