"I shall like that very much," Mona had returned, innocently, not dreaming of the ordeal that awaited her,—because in such cases even the very best men will be deceitful, and Geoffrey had rather led her to believe that his mother would be charmed with her, and that she was most pleased than otherwise at their marriage. "What a strange name yours is!—Nolly," says Mona, presently. "Mona, can you manage to get home by some short way by yourself? Because I must return. I must stand by this man they are going to murder.
