She motions impatiently with her hand, and Geoffrey, being compelled to it by her vehemence, draws a high chair close to that part of the wall that seems to have claimed her greatest attention. "But you didn't cut your throat, after all," says Mona, with a wicked little grimace. Rodney casts a quick glance up the road, but no human creature is in sight; nor, indeed, were they here, would they have been of any use.
