"She is out," says Lady Rodney, in a compressed tone. Nothing but that." "I am glad you know that," says Mona. Then, going nearer to Violet, she lays her hand upon her arm and regards her earnestly. The tears are still glistening in her eyes. "Well, practically speaking, no. But I believe she has a sister somewhere.".
