At which Mona turns round to him a face very pale, but full of such love as should rejoice the heart of any man, and says, tremulously,— To the old people he said, "Go over now to that lodge and live there. There is plenty of food, and when that is gone I will kill more. As for me, I shall make a journey. Tell me where there are any people. In what direction shall I go to find a camp?"

The simple query confounds him more than might a more elaborate one put by a clever worldling. Why indeed? "Well, I can't, you know," with a sigh. "But no matter: you will enjoy the scenery even more by yourself." As to Jack and Violet, they have grown of late into a sort of moral puzzle that nobody can solve. For months they have been gazing at and talking to each other, have apparently seen nothing but each other, no matter how many others may be present; and yet it is evident that no understanding exists between them, and that no formal engagement has been arrived at.

I shudder to think what part in her mediæval programme would have been allotted to me.".
