At this Mona turns her gaze secretly upon him. She studies his hair, his gray eyes, his irregular nose,—that ought to have known better,—and his handsome mouth, so resolute, yet so tender, that his fair moustache only half conceals.

"Tin,—money," explains he. "He won't go into the stable to-night," says Mona, comfortably. "But what is it?" asks Miss Mansergh from behind Lady Rodney's chair, just a little impatiently. "Very. And you are not a bit like her, after all," says Geoffrey, with sudden compunction, "because you are going to be as happy as the days are long, if I can make you so.".
