"No, no," she says; "all is different now, you know, and you should never have come here again at all; but"—with charming inconsequence—"why did you go away last evening without bidding me good-night?" His voice breaks: with a groan he sinks back again upon his pillow. "And, if so, what are you doing here?" says Mona, reprovingly..
