"Yes," says Mona, devoutly hoping he is going to say he means to refuse it. But such devout hope is wasted. "I dare say," she says, carelessly, purposely mistaking his meaning: "it must have been cold lying there." Only as Mrs. Geoffrey makes her final curtesy, and Geoffrey, with a laugh, stoops forward to kiss her lips instead of her hand, as acknowledgment of her earnest and very sweet performance, thereby declaring the same to have come to a timely end, do the new-comers dare to show themselves..
