"Good by, dear Paul," says Mona, very gently, impressed by his evident grief and earnestness. Creeping through the grass behind this person, something was slowly drawing near to him.

"I don't think I am," says Mona; "but the thought of meeting people for the first time makes me feel nervous. Is your mother tall, Geoffrey?" Naturally an early riser, Mona slips noiselessly from her bed, lest she shall wake Geoffrey,—who is still sleeping the sleep of the just,—and, going into his dressing-room, jumps into his bath, leaving hers for him..
