"Well, not just now, I think," says Mona, evasively. Then spoke the Bear, saying, "There are many animals and some of them are powerful; but the bear is the strongest and greatest of all. He fears nothing and is always ready to fight." "No. Play anything monotonous, that is slow and dignified besides, and it will answer; in fact, anything at all," says Geoffrey, largely, at which Violet smiles and seats herself at the piano..

It ran away, but at last it fell down and died. "'What darling little hands you have!'" begins Nolly, quite innocently..
