Go you into the water as I did.",Geoffrey and Mona go up the road with the serenader behind them, and, turning aside, she guiding, mount a stile, and, striking across a field, make straight for the high hill that conceals the ocean from the farm. Over many fields they travel, until at length they reach the mountain's summit and gaze down upon the beauteous scene below.,Bob thought he detected a glance of understanding flash from one to the other but put it down to his being suspicious of everything that occurred.
