Geoffrey, taking Mona's arm, leads her into the hall.,A small stove had been set up in the improvised kitchen, and a big boiler filled with water. This was now boiling furiously and the ladies proceeded to make the coffee. Cakes and pies were cut, cups and saucers were piled in one huge basket and sandwiches in another.,"What on earth have you been reading in your day about madness to give you such extraordinary ideas?" said Captain Acton.,"Why, it's all ready," cried Patricia wondering at her changed manner. "We put the sliced lemon on the very last thing.","I think she is the loveliest woman I ever saw," returns Miss Mansergh, quietly, without enthusiasm, but with decision.
