"Don't be unkind to me," says Mona, with just a touch of innocent and bewitching coquetry. She is telling herself she likes this absurd young man better than any one she has met since she came to England, except perhaps Sir Nicholas. "Oh, yes, I am quite ready," says Mona, starting somewhat guiltily.

"But you have nothing to sit on.".

Together they went from the lodges toward the north. The sun was already hidden behind the nearby hills. "Well, if only to oblige you, I'll take Truant." "But I hope you will not be disappointed when you see it," she says, gently. "You have the real Killarney fern, Sir Nicholas, I can see; the other, I speak of, though to me almost as lovely, is not a bit like it." "I think I should like your mother," she says, naively and very sweetly, lifting her eyes steadily to his. "She is handsome, of course; and is she good as she is beautiful?".
