"It won't be her fault; but of course her people will object, which amounts to the same thing. She can't go against her people, you know." "Well, you didn't," says Mona. "Are you engaged to her?" "Well, she did. I don't remember about that, you know. I was quite a little chap, and hustled out of sight if I said 'boo.' But of course she's got over all that, and is as jolly as a sand-boy now," says Geoffrey, gayly. (If only Lady Rodney could have heard him comparing her to a "sand-boy"!).

But at this break in my history, almost as he forms this resolution, an event occurs that brings friends to Mona, and changes in toto the aspect of affairs. He told the old women to move over to the bear-painted lodge and after this to live in it. It was theirs. "Oh, yes, you may go," says Mona. Geoffrey says nothing. He is looking at her with curiosity, in which deep love is mingled. She is so utterly unlike all other women he has ever met, with their petty affectations and mock modesties, their would-be hesitations and their final yieldings. She has no idea she is doing anything that all the world of women might not do, and can see no reason why she should distrust her friend just because he is a man. "In that I spoke the truth," says Mr. Rodney, with a shameless laugh, "because it was an uncle who left me some money.".
