"It was Tim Ryan," returns Mona, wearily, feeling unequal to a long story just at present. Nolly is especially and oppressively cheerful. He is blind to the depression that marks Mona and Geoffrey for its own, and quite outdoes himself in geniality and all-round amiability. Geoffrey's arm slips from his wife's shoulders to her rounded waist. "It is insupportable such an insinuation," says the lively Doatie. "Violet, Mona's cause is ours: what shall we do with him?".
