The description is graphic, certainly. "Nothing," replied the old man. "I fell down and spilled my arrows, and I am putting them back." "She was very nice to me," says Mona, "and is, I think, a very pleasant old lady. She asked me to go and see her next Thursday.".

"I don't think I shall," says Geoffrey, in a low tone. "He did lower them. He, too, must live; and, at all events, no persecution can excuse murder," says Mona, undaunted.

She is honestly very much frightened at what she has done, but obstinately declines to acknowledge it even to her own heart. In a foolish but natural manner she tries to deceive herself into the belief that what has happened has been much to her own advantage, and it will be a strict wisdom to rejoice over it..
