"Would you bite me?" murmurs she, fondly, as the bird flies off again alarmed at the presence of the tall stranger, who already is busy comparing most favorably the face of its mistress with the faces of all the fashionable beauties London has been raving about for eighteen months. "Every morning they torment me like this," she says, turning to Geoffrey, with a little pleasant confidential nod. "This day week, then," he says, having heard, and taken to heart the wisdom of, the old maxim about striking while the iron is hot. "Do not fear," he said. "No one shall take this back fat from you.

"I regret—" begins Lady Rodney, stonily; but Mona by a gesture stays her. Patience has its limits. Mickey's limit comes quickly When five more minutes have passed, and the two in his charge still make no sign, he coughs respectfully but very loudly behind his hand.
