Does she really think the whole earth is peopled with beings pure and perfect as herself? "No?" says Lauderdale, laughing. "But why, then? There is no other Mrs. Rodney, is there?".

His mind has wandered far away to those earlier days when England was unknown and when the free life of the colony was all he desired. "I mean," says Mona, flushing a vivid scarlet, "is she stern?"
