But there is no use in such a question. Nobody could teach it to you: you must feel it as you sing. And yet you are scarcely to be envied. Your singing has betrayed to me one thing: if ever you suffer any great trouble it will kill you." "Yet I think Warden knows more than he cares to tell," says Mona, at a venture. Why, she herself hardly knows. "Oh, no!" shaking her lovely head emphatically, with a smile. "It's country dances I mean.
