"If it was a political quip," says Violet, "I shouldn't care about it." "Are you a man, to make me such a speech?" she says, passionately, fixing her eyes upon him with withering contempt. "Yes—you think; go on," says Rodney, gazing at her attentively. Thus half an hour goes by. Then Geoffrey, growing uneasy, raises his head and looks at Mona. From where he sits the bed is hidden from him, but he can see that she is still kneeling beside it, her hand in Rodney's, her face hidden in the bedclothes..
