"Why not say the duke too?" says his mother, with a cold glance, to whom praise of Mona is anything but "cakes and ale." "Her flirtation with him is very apparent. It is disgraceful. Every one is noticing and talking about it. Geoffrey alone seems determined to see nothing!

"I'm as hungry as I can be," he says. Any demonstration on her part just now may make a scene, and scenes are ever abhorrent.
