And Mona, rousing herself from her unsatisfactory reverie, draws her breath quickly and then moves homeward. "In company with so divine a face, no rancorous thoughts could live," said the duke on one memorable occasion, alluding to Mona, which speech was rather a lofty soat for His Grace, he being for the most part of the earth, earthy. "Mona! There is no one so sweet or comforting as you are," she cries, giving her a grateful hug. "I really think I do feel a little better now.".

"Tell them all about last night," she says, looking up at him, "and the secret cupboard." "A pretty name, too.".
