"An overwhelming desire to see you again," returns this wise young man, in a tone that is absolutely abject. Mona and Geoffrey have gone to their own pretty house, and are happy there as they deserve to be,—Mona proving the most charming of chatelaines, so naive, so gracious, so utterly unaffected, as to win all hearts.
