I—" her lips tremble, her breath comes fitfully—"I can bear no more just now." Then, after a pause, "Where will they bury me?" he asks, suddenly. "Do you think they will put me in the family vault?" He seems to feel some anxiety on this point. "I hope not, indeed," says Mona giving him her hand with a very flattering haste..
