"It was the last line," says Mona, in explanation, clearly ashamed of herself, yet unable wholly to subdue her merriment. "It reminded me so much of that speech about tea, that they always use at temperance meetings; they call it the beverage 'that cheers but not inebriates.' You said 'that warms but not illumines,' and it sounded exactly like it. Don't you see!" "Tell me again how it all happened," he says, laying his hands on her shoulders.

"If there is one thing I adore, it is a secret chamber, or a closet in a house, or a ghost." Soon an old woman, bent with age and crippled, came from the door and smiled as she saw the two persons coming. Slowly she turns her head away from him, and, as though following out a train of thought, fixes her eyes upon the panelled wall in front of her. "Did she never look at you like that?" asks Mona, maliciously; "in the early days, I mean, before—before——".
