And this is unlike Mona, because flowers are dear to her as sunshine is to them..

"Daisies pied, and violets blue, "I wonder you are not afraid of going too far," he puts in, warningly, his dark eyes flashing. She uncovers her eyes, and glances for a bare instant at Rodney. Then once more the heavily-fringed lids close upon the dark-blue eyes, as if to hide the anguish in them, and in a smothered voice she says, with clenched teeth and a face like marble, "Yes, you may kiss me,—if you will." "I don't suppose any one will take the slightest notice of him," says Violet: "that is one comfort.".
