"Would you like to have a new robe?" asked Cold Maker. "He was the Duke of Lauderdale," says Mona, simply. "Here is his card." As Mona comes still nearer, the words of the speaker reach her, and sink into her brain. It is Lady Rodney who is holding forth, and what she says floats lightly to Mona's ears.
