Why, what else could I mean?",CHAPTER XXXVII.,"I have come," she says, simply, feeling herself growing pale, yet quite self-possessed, and strong in a determination not to offer him her hand.,"I wonder when you will adore any one, Nolly," says Geoffrey, idly.,She would have gone to him then, and tried to console him in her own pretty fashion, but he motions her to stay where she is.，Then the young man spoke and asked, "Why is this? Why do you not give me food?"，"Now, that is very kind of you," she says, lifting her eyes, humid with tears, to his. "And I think it will take only a very little time to make me love you!"，"Yes, but he always doffed it; and he never put one on like ordinary mortals, he always donned it. You can't think what a difference it makes."Jack is laughing over a letter written by one of the fellows in India; all are deep in their own correspondence.

"The man is eccentric, no matter what Geoffrey may say," is Mona's first thought, when she has perused it carefully for the second time. Then the belief that it may have something to do with the restoration of the lost will takes possession of her, and makes her heart beat wildly. Yes, she will go; she will keep this appointment whatever comes of it.,Carthy, having by this time freed himself from Mona's detaining grasp,—who, seeing the turn affairs have taken, has clung to him with all her strength, and so hampered his efforts to go to his companion's assistance,—comes to the front.,"He was very eccentric, but quite correct," says Lady Rodney, reprovingly.,The duchess, on the contrary, gives way to mirth, and, leaning back in her chair, laughs softly but with evident enjoyment.

Geoffrey, you should have a voice in this matter, and I think she ought to go.","I don't know, I'm sure; but really the way you expressed yourself, and——Yes, of course, Spice will be company, the very best company for you.",The two were standing in plain sight of the camp and the people in it, and some one went to the chief's lodge and told him what was taking place.,"No; not a petty squire," says Mona; "and I think you do know him. And why should I be ashamed to tell my name to any one?",She did not answer, and without saying anything more he led her up over the bluff and out on the prairie.,"Oh, yes, you may go," says Mona. Geoffrey says nothing. He is looking at her with curiosity, in which deep love is mingled. She is so utterly unlike all other women he has ever met, with their petty affectations and mock modesties, their would-be hesitations and their final yieldings. She has no idea she is doing anything that all the world of women might not do, and can see no reason why she should distrust her friend just because he is a man.,"There are landlords, at least; and very excellent shooting they are, if all accounts be true," says Geoffrey, with a grin,—"to say nothing of the partridge and grouse. Besides, it will be an experience; and a man should say 'how d'ye do?' to his tenants sometimes.","Nothing on earth shall bring me to say that," says Mona, solemnly. "Nothing!".
