"Well, it always is on her head," says Mr. Rodney, at which ridiculous joke they both laugh as gayly as though it were a bon-mot of the first water. That "life is thorny, and youth is vain" has not as yet occurred to either of these two. Nay, more, were you even to name this thought to them, they would rank it as flat blasphemy, and you a false prophet—love and laughter being, up to this, the burden of their song. The breeze is so light that hardly a trembling of the leafless branches breaks the deadly silence that reigns all round: "Yes; let me go to him," says Mona, quickly; "I shall know what to say better than you.".

His good dog is at his heels; a boy—procured from some neighboring cabin, and warranted not to wear out, however long the journey to be undertaken or how many miles to travel—carries his bag beside him. "You have something important to say to me," says Mona, presently, seeing he will not speak: "at least, so your letter led me to believe." "I thought I did," says Geoffrey, waking slowly to a sense of the situation..
