"I wasn't," says Mona: "I went out a great deal. All day long I was in the open air. That is what made my hands so brown last autumn." "Well, it was perfect: wasn't it, Violet?" All the young men thought this was funny; they laughed a good deal at Scarface as he was walking away. "You believe!" with ineffable disgust. "And have you not even taken the trouble to make sure?
