As she advances and retreats, with her svelte figure drawn to its fullest height, and her face eager and intent upon the business in hand, and with her whole heart thrown apparently into the successful accomplishment of her task, she is looking far lovelier than she herself is at all aware. "Then she doesn't know what she is talking about," says Mrs. Geoffrey, indignantly. "The idea of comparing Geoffrey with Jack!" "Your wife, Geoffrey?" she says, holding Mona's hand all the time, and gazing at her intently.

"How melancholy!" says Mona, with a nearer approach to brightness than she has shown all day. "Do you mean they want to shoot me?" says Maxwell, in a hurried tone. But before they reach the hall door Geoffrey feels it his duty to bestow upon them a word or two of warning.

He is growing warm, and his breath is coming more quickly than is exactly desirable; but, being possessed with the desire to conquer or die, he still holds on. He races madly over the ground, crying "Shoo!" every now and then (whatever that may mean) in a desperate tone, as though impressed with the belief that this simple and apparently harmless expletive must cow the foe..
