Old Brian Scully is in his parlor, and comes to meet them as they enter the hall,—his pipe behind his back. "You evidently want to get rid of me," says Rodney, discouraged, taking up his hat.

"Yes, I am Mrs. Rodney," says Mona, feeling some pride in her wedded name, in spite of the fact that two whole months have gone by since first she heard it.
