He said to those who could still walk that they should go and tell their people to come here, to get the ones still alive but unable to travel. "What's that?" asked Mona. "Don't speak of your mother as if she were a chromatic scale." "I shall not be disappointed. I have read all about it," returns he, enthusiastically.

"You were talking of pigs," says Mona, gently. "I do adore somebody," returns that ingenuous youth, staring openly at Mona, who is taking up the last stitch dropped by Lady Rodney in the little scarlet silk sock she is knitting for Phyllis Carrington's boy. He, too, looks at her. The same thought fills them both. As they are together there in the water, so (pray they) "may we be together in life." This hope is sweet almost to solemnity. Her hair is falling like a veil all round her; through it she looks out at Rodney with eyes frightened and imploring..
