In the distance, indeed, she can see some fir-trees that alone show green amidst a wilderness of brown, and are hailed with rapture by the eye, tired of the gray and sullen monotony. But except for these all is dull and unfruitful. "Such presumption, walking in our wood without permission," she says, haughtily. "I can't well get away before that, you know, as Wigley is a good way off. But I'll try all I know.

Mona—who, as we have seen, is not great in emergencies—fails to notice the rudeness, in her own embarrassment, and therefore bows politely in return to his salutation. "I want you to do something for my sake." "Well, you didn't," says Mona. "Are you engaged to her?".
