"'What darling little hands you have!'" begins Nolly, quite innocently. "Have you any rose-water?" goes on Miss Mansergh in her matter-of-fact manner. "No? A good sign that tears and you are enemies.

"So Warden failed you?" he says, presently, alluding to old Elspeth's nephew. At this Mona turns her gaze secretly upon him. She studies his hair, his gray eyes, his irregular nose,—that ought to have known better,—and his handsome mouth, so resolute, yet so tender, that his fair moustache only half conceals.
