"The name of the place I mean to stay at—my own actual property—is called Coolnagurtheen," goes on Geoffrey, heedless of her censure. Silence. Mona taps the mound beside her with impatient fingers, her mind being evidently great with thought. "Well, I can't, you know," with a sigh. "But no matter: you will enjoy the scenery even more by yourself." "Do not come any nearer," he says, hastily, "I can tell it all to you better, more easily, when I cannot see you.".
