"You are right," he says, with growing vehemence: "no man would do it. It is such a brilliant chance, such a splendid scheme——." He checks himself suddenly. Mona looks at him curiously, but says nothing. In a second he recovers himself, and goes on: "Yet because I will not relinquish my just claim you look upon me with hatred and contempt." Flattery goes a long way with most men, but in this instance the subtle poison touches Mr. Rodney even more than it pleases him. He presses the hand that rests upon his arm an eighth of an inch nearer to his heart than it was before, if that be possible.

The first thin edge of the wedge has been inserted: the sword trembles to its fall: c'est le commencement de la fin. "Mona, do you think Elise is right? she is so very positive; are you sure heliotrope is the correct shade to go with this?" Or— "Is it? I always heard it was rather a jolly sort of little place, once you got into it—well." "No," said Kŭt-o-yĭs´. "You are saying what is not true, and I am going to kill you now.".
