For a moment her Grace hesitates, then is lost. It is to her a new sensation to be taken about by a young woman to see things.

It revives him somewhat. And presently the intenser pallor dies away, and speech returns to him. "Eh?" says Mona. "It was some joke, of course?" goes on Violet, not having received any answer to her first question. "Well, do not preach such doctrine to Geoffrey," she says, with repentance mixed with pathos..
