"What!" says Mona And then she grows quite pale, and, slipping off the stile, stands a few yards away from him. "I am afraid of nothing," says Mona, simply. "I am not half so much afraid as you were a few moments since, when you could not let your eyes meet mine, and when you shrank from answering me a simple question.
