And so matters stood when Mona came to the Towers. "Now, that is good of you," she says, gratefully, and then, as he stoops to kiss her, she throws her arms around his neck and bursts into tears. "Something," replies he, with a short laugh. "I shall at least see you again on the 19th.".

The fire blazes up fiercely, and anon drops its flame and sinks into insignificance once more. Again the words that bear some vague but as yet undiscovered meaning haunt Mona's brain. "A splendid scheme." A vile conspiracy, perhaps. Oh, that she might be instrumental in saving these people from ruin, among whom her lot had been cast! But how weak her arm!

He does not see Mona until he is within a yard of her, a thick bush standing between him and her.
