With Philippa they have some tea, and then again follow their indefatigable hostess to a distant apartment that seems more or less to jut out from the house, and was in olden days a tiny chapel or oratory. Where would they all be now but for her timely entry into the library on that night never to be forgotten, and her influence over the poor dead and gone cousin?

How fair a world it is to hold such depths of sin! Why should not rain and storms and howling tempest mark a night so—— "Now, once for all, mother—" begins Nicholas, vehemently, but Geoffrey, with a gesture, silences him.

Mona is enchanted with the many varieties she sees that are unknown to her, and, being very much not of the world, is not ashamed to express her delight.
