But Maxwell still lingers, looking first at her and then very intently at her companion. At which Mona turns round to him a face very pale, but full of such love as should rejoice the heart of any man, and says, tremulously,— "You are in love," returns his mother, contemptuously. "At present you can see no fault in her; but later on when you come to compare her with the other women in your own set, when you see them together, I only hope you will see no difference between them, and feel no regret.".
