"Yes; let me go to him," says Mona, quickly; "I shall know what to say better than you." "But—" begins he, impatiently, trying gently to put her to one side. "A great deal. I should. I have heard of almost nothing else since my arrival in England," replies he, slowly. "You are indeed," he says, in a tone so grateful that it ought to have betrayed to her his meaning. But grief and disappointment have seized upon her..
