And I'll take you to see Rome and all the places we have been talking about, and we shall have a real good old time. Why don't you look up and speak to me, Mona?","Poor Mona!" says Geoffrey; "don't tell her about it, as remorse may sadden her.",The approaching terror had drifted into the shadow again.
