"I didn't mean that, and I never hint," exclaims Mona, angrily; "and if you insist on the truth, if I must explain to you what I particularly desire to keep secret, you——".

"I did not expect you would say anything else," returns she, coldly. "Is she quite without blood?" "Hate you!" replies he, with a smile of ineffable fondness, "my preserver and my love!".
