When she is gone, Geoffrey walks impatiently up and down the small hall, conflicting emotions robbing him of the serenity that usually attends his footsteps. He is happy, yet full of a secret gnawing uneasiness that weighs upon him daily, hourly. Near Mona—when in her presence—a gladness that amounts almost to perfect happiness is his; apart from her is unrest. Love, although he is but just awakening to the fact, has laid his chubby hands upon him, and now holds him in thrall; so that no longer for him is that most desirable thing content,—which means indifference. Rather is he melancholy now and then, and inclined to look on life apart from Mona as a doubtful good. "I had a small adventure," says Mona, presently, with suppressed gayety. All her gayety of late has been suppressed.

I was frightened rather, because it was all so sudden, and sprang to one side. Then the gentleman got down, and, coming to me, begged my pardon. I said it didn't matter, because I was really uninjured, and it was all my fault. But he seemed very sorry, and (it was dusk as I told you, and I believe he is short sighted) stared at me a great deal." "Yes, but we are all so different from the English. We have no pretty fair hair in Ireland, or at least very little of it.".

"Yes, but he always doffed it; and he never put one on like ordinary mortals, he always donned it. You can't think what a difference it makes." "Yet, in spite of what you say, you turn from me, you despise me," exclaims he, with some growing excitement. "It was a feeble effort," declares he, contemptuously striking with his cane the trunks of the trees as he goes by them. "The first sound in the song of love.
