"Must you really go, Geoffrey?—really?" asks Mona, miserably, looking the very personification of despair. She has asked the same question in the same tone ever since early dawn, and it is now four o'clock. To this name, given to her in such an unkindly spirit, Mona clings with singular pertinacity.
