"Yes,—so far," returns she, coldly. She turns up one of the lamps, whilst Rodney still continues his contemplation of the wall before him. Conversation languishes, then dies. Mona, raising her hand to her lips, suppresses valiantly a yawn. "How sad Nicholas looks!" says Mona, suddenly. "Mother, Violet has promised to marry me," he says abruptly. "Haven't you, Violet?".
