With a little touch of wilfulness, perhaps pride, she withdraws her hand. It is Mona's laugh. Raising their eyes, both mother and son turn their heads hastily (and quite involuntarily) and gaze upon the scene beyond. They are so situated that they can see into the curtained chamber and mark the picture it contains.

His cap, instead of being set jauntily far back on his head, was jammed well down over his eyes.

"At least they are a pretty shape," says the duchess glancing at the slim little hands lying gloved in their owner's lap. "But I don't think you quite understood the 'going out' in the light that I did. I mean, did you go much into society?" "A great distance," said the man. "Other people are unhappy, too," says the Australian, gloomily. "I mean, some of them dress uncommon badly," he says, with much mendacity and more bad grammar..
