With one little frightened hand she tries to possess herself of the fingers that shield the elder woman's face.,"Father," said Kŭt-o-yĭs´, "have you no arrows?","Yes, exactly; you have it by heart; but what does it mean, and what are you staring at that wall for?" asks he, hopelessly, going to her side.,"It doesn't matter. Come upstairs with me, Mona. I want to tell you all about it," says Doatie. The reaction has set in, and she is again tearful, and reduced almost to despair.,Night is creeping up over the land. Already in the heavens the pale crescent moon just born rides silently,—，"Poor girl! I feel honestly sorry for her," says Jack, with a mild sigh. "What an awful ass he has made of himself!"，"I do not know where I am going," he replied; "I am in trouble, but I cannot talk about it."，"But you have something on your mind, too. You have me. Why doesn't Jack go?""It is like a romaunt of the earlier and purer days of chivalry," goes on Lady Lilias, in her most prosy tone. "Alas! where are they now?" She pauses for an answer to this difficult question, being in her very loftiest strain of high art depression.

"Waiting—for what? Is it to shoot him?" asks the girl, breathlessly.,There is admiration blended with relief in her tone, and Geoffrey begins to feel like a hero of Waterloo.,In the background partly hidden by the gathering gloom, some fifteen men, and one or two women, are all huddled together, whispering eagerly, with their faces almost touching.

"I never knew I was touched till now. Come, let us get back to the farm.",A dead silence follows. Lady Rodney raises her head, scenting mischief in the air.,"Come and sit by me. You can spare me a few minutes," she says, drawing her ample skirts to one side. Mona, taking her hand from Lauderdale's arm, drops into the proffered seat beside his mother, much to that young man's chagrin, who, having inherited the material hankering after that "delightful prejudice," as Theocritus terms beauty, is decidedly epris with Mrs. Geoffrey, and takes it badly being done out of his tete-a-tete with her.,"But who?

Against her will she read my desire in my eyes, and has so far sacrificed herself for my sake. I had no right to compel your wife to this satisfying of my vanity, yet I could not resist it. Forget it; the dance will soon be over.","I see no reason why she should not talk to any man she pleases. I know her well enough to trust her anywhere, and am deeply thankful for such knowledge. In fact," with some passion, sudden but subdued, "I feel as though in discussing her in this cold-blooded fashion I am doing her some grievous wrong.","I don't know, I'm sure; but really the way you expressed yourself, and——Yes, of course, Spice will be company, the very best company for you.","Why, so I was," says Mona, opening her eyes with some surprise, and with an amused smile.
