"I don't think I understand you," she says, at length, gravely. "Where would the rest of her be, if she wasn't all in the same place?" "Not until you tell me what made you cry." "Now, do they?" says Mona. "I thought they always wore lovely clothes. In books they always do; but I was too young when with Aunt Anastasia in Dublin to go out. Somehow, what one imagines is sure to be wrong. I remember," laughing, "when I firmly believed the queen never was seen without her crown on her head.".
