"Miss Mona, come in; the tay will be cold, an' the rashers all spoiled, an' the masther's callin' for ye." "If you can say that again now, in cold blood, after so many hours of thought, you must be indeed heartless," says Rodney; "and"—standing up—"I may as well go."

'A council made of such as dare not speak, "Come, then," she says, slowly, "if you will. Though I am not afraid. Why should I be? Do you forget that I am one of themselves? My father and I belong to the people." They all examine it with interest, Nolly being specially voluble on the occasion. Other wise words she spoke to him, telling him what he should do; also she gave him a bundle of mysterious things which would help him on his journey..
