Even while it lasts he swears to himself an oath that he never to his life's end breaks.,"It might be that ye'd take a dhrop of new milk, too," says Betty, "on hospitable thoughts intent," placing before her visitors a little jug of milk she has all day been keeping apart, poor soul! for her own delectation.,"What could he have wanted? When I came in, he turned pale and levelled the pistol at me. I was frightened, but not much. When I desired him, he laid down the pistol directly, and then I seized it. And then——",He finds Mona on his return sitting on a bank, laughing and trying to recover her breath.，"Why, what is the matter?" he says, seeing signs of the lively storm on all their faces. Doatie explains hurriedly.，"Come a little farther," he says, gently, slinging the heavy bag across his own shoulders. "There must be a farmhouse somewhere."，"Dearest Mona, I must interrupt you again. Are you very busy? No? Oh, then do come and look at the last bonnet Madame Verot has just sent. She says there will be nothing to equal it this season. But," in a heart-broken voice, "I cannot bring myself to think it becoming.""Poor Mona!" says Geoffrey; "don't tell her about it, as remorse may sadden her."

"I saw you coming, and have prepared him for the interview. I shall be just here, or in the next room, if you should want me.
