"Well, but it was a little hard on your father, wasn't it?" says Mona, gently. "It is illiterate writing, certainly; and the whole concern dilapidated to the last degree," goes on Rodney, still regarding the soiled paper with curiosity mingled with aversion. "Any objection to my putting it in the fire?" "I feel it keenly," says Rodney, caressing the handsome creatures as they crouch at his feet. "Where did you get them?".
