"Yes?" says Mona, who looks and is, intensely interested. "I should very much like to go," says Mona, gently, and with some eagerness.

"I wonder what kind of songs you like best," says Mona, dreamily, letting her fingers run noiselessly over the keys of the Collard. "If you are like me, you like sad ones.".
