When the people heard this they were angry, and they told the man to do something to punish these women. "Thank you," says Geoffrey, a little dryly, accepting her words as they are said, not as he feels they are meant. "Law, Miss Mona, ye needn't tell me; sure I'm flyin' I'll be there an' back before ye'll know I'm gone."
