Her face changes. He has made no mention of the treasured gown, has said no little word of praise. "You are," says Mona, eagerly. "Do you think," tears gathering in her eyes, "that I could be happy when those I love are reduced to despair?" "There is no moat, and no drawbridge, and no eyelet-hole through which to spy upon the advance of the enemy," says Darling, in an impressive whisper, just as they turn the curve that leads into the big gravel sweep before the hall door.

"But I don't think you quite understood the 'going out' in the light that I did. I mean, did you go much into society?" Mona starts, and regards him fixedly in a puzzled, uncertain manner. What he can possibly mean is unknown to her; but yet she is aware of some inward feeling, some instinct such as animals possess, that warns her to beware of him. She shrinks from him, and in doing so a slight fold of her dress catches in the handle of a writing-table, and detains her.

At the farthest, Leighton must be ready for them in a month or so. "Well, belief, however strong, goes a short way sometimes. An uncommon short way with us.".
