"Very good," says Mona, indifferently, after which the woman, having straightened a cushion or two, takes her departure. "I think I'd like to see myself in a regular evening gown," she say, wistfully. "Of course you must come here," says Lady Rodney, who is afraid of the county and what it will say if it discovers she is at loggerheads with her son and his bride. But there is no welcome in her tone. And Geoffrey, greatly discouraged, yet determined to part friends with her for Mona's sake,—and trusting to the latter's sweetness to make all things straight in the future,—after a few more desultory remarks takes his departure, with the understanding on both sides that he and his wife are to come to the Towers on the Friday following to take up their quarters there until Leighton Hall is ready to receive them.

A sense of desolation creeps over her,—a sense of loneliness she has never known before..
