"And to usher them in here! Into one of my most private rooms! Unlikely people, like the Carsons, whom you have heard me speak of in disparaging terms a hundred times! I don't know what you could have been thinking about. Perhaps next time you will be kind enough to bring them to my bedroom." Kneeling down by her, Dorothy lays her head upon Mona's knee, and bursts out crying afresh. But yet there were those who did not acknowledge the new-comer, in spite of his wealth and the romantic story attaching to him, and the possibility that he might yet be proved to be the rightful baronet and the possessor of all the goodly lands that spread for miles around.

That is the part you mean, is it not? I know all that poem very nearly by heart." Mona hardly hears him. She is thinking of Nicholas's face as it was half an hour ago when he had leaned against the deserted doorway and looked at pretty Dorothy. Paul turns his head, and as he sees Geoffrey a quick spasm that betrays fear crosses his face. "Is she? It is too late for her to be out," returns Geoffrey, thinking of the chill evening air..
