This is a bad beginning. Mr. Rodney, before replying, judiciously gains time, and makes a diversion by poking the fire. Her sympathy is unbounded, her temper equal to the most trying occasion, her heart open to the most petty grievances; she is to the two girls an unfailing source of comfort, a refuge where they may unrebuked pour out the indignation against their dressmakers that seems to rage unceasingly within their breasts. "I don't like Mr. Boer," says Mona, "and it was not me he came to see.".

Mona, not attempting to reason with her again, shakes her head despondingly, and leaves the cabin with Geoffrey at her side. Here her eyes fall upon Ryan's motionless figure, and a shudder passes over her. "Ah," said the old woman, "has our son-in-law been generous and given us something nice to eat?" To his mother, however, he has sent no word of Mona, knowing only too well how the news of his approaching marriage with this "outer barbarian" (as she will certainly deem his darling) will be received. It is not cowardice that holds his pen, as, were all the world to kneel at his feet and implore him or bribe him to renounce his love, all such pleading and bribing would be in vain. It is that, knowing argument to be useless, he puts off the evil hour that may bring pain to his mother to the last moment..
