Even this is a small, if unconscious, cut, considering what objectionable curiosity he evinced about her name. But the Australian is above small cuts, for the good reason that he seldom sees them. "I came to take my daughter back to my lodge. Come, let us go." "I sha'n't mind it very much," says Mona, earnestly. "It will be after all, only one half hour out of my whole day."
