Now from the fire again arose the smell of roasting meat. The children ate and played. Those who so long had been silent now talked and laughed. "Hush, Dorothy! It was very wrong of Jack," interrupts Violet. But Mona laughs for the first time for many hours—which delights Doatie. The son-in-law did not know whether to believe this, and sent his oldest wife to ask the same question. When she came back and told him the same thing he believed that it was really a girl.

He had no means of reclaiming him; to have attempted it by force, would have been at this time the excess of temerity, for his attendants, though numerous, were undisciplined, and would have fallen certain victims to the power of a savage and dexterous banditti.

"Quite sure," returns her future mother-in law, grimly. "I never speak, Dorothy, without foundation for what I say." Mona, rising, pushes Violet gently into her own chair, a little black-and-gold wicker thing, gaudily cushioned. "You love me?" repeats she, faintly. "I shall feel regret," says, Mona, brokenly, the tears running down her cheeks..
