After all, it matters to nobody but Nicholas himself: no one else will suffer if that odious black man conquers." "Because I could not bear to think any one was made unhappy by me. It would seem as though some evil eye was resting on our love," says Mona, raising her thoughtful, earnest eyes to his. "It must be a sad thing when our happiness causes the misery of others." "Don't you know?" says Mr. Darling, mysteriously. "It is a secret, but I know you can be trusted.
