She tries to rise, but sinks back again in her chair, feeling faint and overcome.

The light from the great pine fire streams over all the room, throwing a rich glow upon the scene, upon the girl's flushed and earnest face, and large happy eyes, and graceful rounded figure, betraying also the grace and poetry of her every movement. "But why?" asks Mona, in amaze. "Didn't he wear one?".
