"I am sure I could," says Nolly, bestowing upon her a grateful glance, after which he starts upon his errand with suspicious alacrity. "You, Ryan?" says Mona, with an attempt at unconcern, but her tone is absolutely frozen with fear. "It is like a fairy-tale," says Violet, with unwonted excitement.

"Jack Foster and Terry O'Brien write to me very often," goes on Mona, unconsciously. "And indeed they all do occasionally, at Christmas, you know, and Easter and Midsummer, just to ask me how I am, and to tell me how they have got through their exams.
