I could never face any one with a title. What will she say when she hears you are going to marry a farmer's niece? It is shameful of you," says Mona, with as much indignation as if the young man opposite to her, who is making strenuous but vain efforts to speak, has just been convicted of some heinous crime. "It is disgraceful! I wonder at you! That is twice you have deceived me.","I knew you'd feel just that way about it," said Patricia, relieved and triumphant.

The pediment was perforated by a circular window glazed with a casement whose frame resembled the spokes of a ship's wheel. A variety of antique symbolism resembling the hideous sculptures which sometimes close the chapters in books of the seventeenth century, under-ran the eaves. The tall, narrow windows gleamed blackly amidst the skeletons of the winter, or the coloured embroidery of the[Pg 3] summer creepers. The hall door was noble and hospitable in expanse. A carriage drive swept from it on either hand the oval lawn to a handsome gate whose supports were crowned by the arms of the Actons on the one hand and the arms of a family into which one of the Actons had married on the other hand.，"Swear," said he, "that you will not marry Isabella Dallas until you have discovered and punished the murderer of Maurice."，"Well, well, wait for one moment," says Mona, showing the white feather at last, and holding out to him one slim little hand.

That was perfectly outrageous! What right had she to call him by that name? He had outgrown it long ago, and no one used it now except just herself.
