"You old beggar," he said fondly, "if that rooster was wise he'd go out with the rest of the chickens an' scratch his breakfast, 'stead o' quarrelin' with you. He don't know that you're doin' your best to starve him to death.","Don't make a show of me, Miss Pat," she commanded reproachfully. "It isn't correct to show that you are so delighted.","Me singing!" quavered old John, with a voice of amazement. "Why, I ha'nt sung this twenty year past."，"The lady, I presume, ate nothing?"，Yet does she not triumph over her beaten foe; nay, so different is it with her that she reaches forth her hand to raise her again, and strives by every tender means in her power to obliterate all memory of the unpleasant past.，“I want Howard Eliot,” she cried, “he can sing so lovely, an’ I want Miss Gordon, she’s so comfortin’.”"Do you really?" asks Mona, earnestly.

Can she have already shown symptoms of that tyrannical temper which, according to the duchess, is Lady Rodney's chief bane?

"It would be too terrible; and, as it happens, quite unbelievable.
