"Well, practically speaking, no. But I believe she has a sister somewhere." "I was not determined: you mistake me," exclaims Mona, miserably. "I simply hadn't a headache: I never had one in my life,—and I shouldn't know how to get one!" "In the National Gallery, do you mean?" asks Mona, with a pretty, puzzled frown on her brow.
