"Thank you," replies he stiffly; "yet, after all, I think I should bet upon my own chance." "Oh, do take care!" cries Mona, in an agony: "it is loaded. If you throw it about in that rough fashion, it will certainly go off and do you some injury." "Oh! if you mean by that you want to get rid of me, you might have said so long ago, without all this hinting," says Mr. Rodney, huffily, preparing to beat an indignant retreat. "But, my dearest, why? There is not the slightest danger now, and my horse is a good one, and I sha'n't be any time getting——".
