"Oh, no," says Mona, gently; "only I should like you better, of course, if you were not the cause of our undoing." He is, for instance, surprised, and indeed somewhat relieved, when he discovers that the drivers of the jaunting-cars that take him on his shooting-expeditions are not all modern Joe Millers, and do not let off witty remarks, like bombshells, every two minutes.
