Thin clouds of pearly haze float slowly o'er the sky to meet its rays; and "Oh, stay?" she says, faintly, detaining him both by word and gesture. "I was in your country, the other day," he says, pushing Mona's skirts a little to one side, and sinking on to the ottoman she has chosen as her own resting-place. "And a very nice country it is.".
