"Oh, nonsense!" says Rodney, who is in high good humor and can see no rocks ahead. "When my mother sees you she will fall in love with you on the spot, as will everybody else. But look here, you know, you mustn't call her Mrs. Rodney!" They all smile, and say, "Yes, indeed," or "Oh, yes, indeed," or plain "Yes," in a breath.

But before they reach the hall door Geoffrey feels it his duty to bestow upon them a word or two of warning. "Oh, no, not now," pleads Violet, hastily. She rises hurriedly from her seat, and lays her disengaged hand on his lips. For once in her life she loses sight of her self-possession, and a blush, warm and rich as carmine, mantles on her cheek..
