"That doesn't matter," says Lady Rodney: "it is a mere formula. If it suited your purpose you could have said so—I don't doubt—readily enough." "I quite forgot about the driver," says Geoffrey, beneath his breath. This remark is unfortunate. Mona turns upon him wrathfully. Mona throws open the door, and the visitors sail in, all open-eyed and smiling, with their very best company manners hung out for the day..

"Now, that is the first unkind thing you have ever said to me," retorts he. And my day has no morning.' "Yes; that is Sir Nicholas's Doatie Darling," returns Mona, with a light laugh.

"You are slightly nonsensical when on the subject of Mona," says Sir Nicholas, with a shrug. "Intrigue and she could not exist in the same atmosphere. She is to Lauderdale what she is to everyone else,—gay, bright, and utterly wanting in self-conceit. I cannot understand how it is that you alone refuse to acknowledge her charms.
