"Well, well, wait for one moment," says Mona, showing the white feather at last, and holding out to him one slim little hand.

"Then I will sing you a song I was sent last week," says Mona, and forthwith sings him "Years Ago," mournfully, pathetically, and with all her soul, as it should be sung.

"I was comparing that singer very unfavorably with you. Your voice is so unlike what one usually hears in drawing-rooms.".
