"Think of it now, Paul,—now before it is too late," entreats she, piteously. "Try to pray: there is always mercy." "I hope it is," says Geoffrey; "though, taking your words for gospel, it rather puts me out in the cold. My mother seems to have had rather a good time all through, devoid of anything that might be termed trouble.".
