"That is just like me," says Mr. Rodney, unblushingly—"the very image of me." "Place it on the table," says Mona, who, though rich in presence of mind, has yet all a woman's wholesome horror of anything that may go off. For all this Lady Rodney is devoutly thankful.

It made me frightened, and before I knew it I had poured out the whole truth to her in a perfect cataract of words. The truth always acts on women as some hitherto untried drug, and you can never tell what the reaction is going to be. In this case I was stricken dumb and found it hard to see.

"Oh, no," says Rodney, hastily. "I have given quite too much trouble already. I assure you I am quite well enough now to ride back again to Bantry." "Is it you?" she says. "Come in here, Geoffrey. I want you." "I am looking for the place where the Sun lives," replied Scarface. "I have been sent to speak with him." Alas! how soon will fall upon him that eternal sleep from which no man waketh!.
