"We belong to each other, and always shall, and that is the solution of the whole matter.","What a surprise it all is!" says Geoffrey, hypocritically.,"I hope she isn't in love with you," she says, slowly.,Hands of invisible spirits touch the strings,"I'll tell you all something," he says, "though I hardly think I ought, if you will swear not to betray me."，"This is dreadful!" says Doatie. "But"—brightening—"surely it is not so bad as death or disgrace, is it?"，"Well, just then it made little difference to us, as, shortly after my grandfather went off the hooks, we received what we believed to be authenticated tidings of my uncle's death."，Again she has grown silent, as though oppressed with thought; and he too is mute, but all his mind is crowded with glad anticipations of what the near future is to give him. He has no regrets, no fears. At length, struck by her persistent taciturnity, he says, "What is it, Mona?""Why is this?" said her father. "Some of these young men are rich, handsome, and brave."

She makes him no answer.,They are both silent for a little while, and then Dorothy says, softly,—,"I am afraid you are right," says Mona. "Oh, why did you come over at all?","I tell you I have not," says Geoffrey. "Nothing of the sort. You are wool-gathering.","It is now my turn to demand obedience," says Mona, with a little wan attempt at a smile. "Will you make every hour of my life unhappy? Can I live in the thought that each minute may bring me evil news of you,—may bring me tidings of your death?" Here she gives way to a passionate burst of grief, and clings closer to him, as though with her soft arms to shield him from all danger. Her tears touch him.,To her it is an awful moment. Never before has she stood face to face with dissolution, to wait for the snapping of the chain,—the breaking of the bowl. "Neither the sun nor death," says La Rochefoucauld, "can be looked at steadily;" and now "Death's thousand doors stand open" to receive this man that but an hour agone was full of life as she is now. His pulses throbbed, his blood coursed lightly through his veins, the grave seemed a far-off destination; yet here he lies, smitten to the earth, beaten down and trodden under, with nothing further to anticipate but the last change of all.,"Name it!" exclaims she, seeing he still hesitates.,At this Mr. Rodney moves a shade closer to her.,Perhaps, just at first, surprise is too great to permit of his feeling either astonishment or indignation. He looks from Paul Rodney to Mona, and then from Mona back to Rodney. After that his gaze does not wander again. Mona, running to him, throws herself into his arms, and there he holds her closely, but always with his eyes fixed upon the man he deems his enemy.,"You see, our own house is rather out of repair from being untenanted for so long, and will hardly be ready for us for a month or two," he said to Mona: "I think I will run down to the Towers and tell my mother we will go to her for a little while.","If I must ask Edith Carson, I shall feel I am doing something against my will," says Lady Rodney.,"If I were to resign all hope of gaining the Towers, if I were to consent to leave your people still in possession," he says, passionately, but in a low tone, "should I earn one tender thought in your heart? Speak, Mona! speak!".
