"Ever heard of Botany Bay?" asks he, idly; but, this question being distinctly frivolous, she takes no notice of it. "Well, it's in Ireland," he goes on, after a slight but dignified pause. "You have heard of the Emerald Isle, I suppose? It's the country where they grow potatoes, and say 'bedad'; and Bantry is somewhere south, I think. I'm never very sure about anything: that's one of my charms." He finds Mona on his return sitting on a bank, laughing and trying to recover her breath.

"Perhaps it will make you unhappy,—may shock you," he says to her, with some anxiety. Mona is happier than words can say. She is up to her eyes in the business, that business sweetest to a woman's soul, the ordering and directing and general management of a trousseau. In her case she is doubly blessed, because she has the supervizing of two! "Time will soften her grief," says Rodney, with an attempt at soothing. "And she is young; she will marry again, and form new ties." "This spot always brings to my mind the thoughts of other people," says Mona, softly. "I am very fond of poetry: are you?".
