"How nice!" says Geoffrey, with a careless smile. "Your 'faint praise' fails 'to damn'! Why, one is nothing nowadays if not eccentric. Well," moving towards the door, with the fox-terrier at his heels, "I shall start on Monday. That will get me down in time for the 12th. Shall I send you up any birds?" "For one kiss this deed shall be yours," he whispers, "to do what you like with it." "Nothing on earth shall bring me to say that," says Mona, solemnly. "Nothing!".

"Could you not imagine you had one?" she says, presently as a last resource. "My dear mother, there is hardly anything I wouldn't do for you; but the Nugent scheme wouldn't suit at all.

They walk on silently, scarcely exchanging a syllable one with the other, until they come within sight of a small thatched house built at the side of the road. It has a manure-heap just in front of it, and a filthy pool to its left, in which an ancient sow is wallowing, whilst grunting harmoniously..
