"Yes, you, and every other man," says Mona, smiling, and raising her loving eyes to her husband. "At once," he says, with emphasis. Time passed. The boys grew old enough to go out and fast. They had their dreams. Each found his secret helper of mysterious power, and each became a warrior. Still they were very poor, compared with other young men of their age.

"Everything shall be just as you wish it, dearest," says his mother, with unwonted tenderness, and then silence falls upon them all. The fourth dance has come to an end; cards are full; every one is settling down to work in earnest; already the first touch of satisfaction or of carefully-suppressed disappointment is making itself felt. "What's that?" asked Mona. "Don't speak of your mother as if she were a chromatic scale."
