"But, as I said to Lady Rodney, suppose I haven't a headache," retorts Mona, triumphantly. And by degrees, beneath her influence, Mona grows pale and distrait and in many respects unlike her old joyous self. Each cold, reproving glance and sneering word,—however carefully concealed—falls like a touch of ice upon her heart, chilling and withering her glad youth. Up to this she has led a bird's life, gay, insouciant, free and careless. Now her song seems checked, her sweetest notes are dying fast away through lack of sympathy. She is "cribbed, cabined, and confined," through no fault of her own, and grows listless and dispirited in her captivity. "Oh, no, I haven't, now," says Rodney, reassuringly "You don't look a bit unhappy; you only look as sweet as an angel.".

The woman went on and got the water, and when she came back she took the stone and gave it to her husband, telling him about the song and what the stone had said. Her face betrays more than she knows. "You mustn't think I supposed you kept it for any other purpose," he says, quite solemnly, and in such a depressed tone that Mona almost feels sorry for him. "By and you will think differently," says Mona, believing he alludes to his surrender of the Rodney property "You will get over this disappointment.".
