"I don't know, sir. I never was abroad before, an' I'm dead bate now, an' the bag's like lead." "Yet, in spite of all the fine feathers, no one ever crept into my heart but my own Mona," says the young man, putting his hand beneath her chin, which is soft and rounded as a baby's, and turning her face to his.

"Do you know," he says, slowly, staring at her the while, "you are the most beautiful woman I ever saw?" "Come," he says, gently. "I don't think you can make an inquiry about the bygone days of chivalry," she says, somewhat stiffly, and, having shaken the hand of her bewildered friend, and pecked gently at her cheek, she sails out of the room, disheartened, and wounded in spirit. I wish you would not take it so absurdly to heart. I haven't married an heiress, I know; but the whole world does not hinge on money.".
