That girl of the Cheviots is sure to be there,—you know how fond Bessie Nugent is of her?—and I know she is bent on marrying me.","How Rome and Spain would enchant you," he says watching her face intently, "and Switzerland, with its lakes and mountains!","Yes, I dare say," says Lady Rodney, who is now wondering when this high-flown visitor will take her departure.,"Well, what would you have me do?" demands he, with some passion. "Throw up everything? Lands, title, position? It is more than could be expected of any man."，"Oh, that I could believe so!" says Mona, forgetful of manners, courtesy, everything, but the desire to see those she loves restored to peace.，"Yes, deliberately," returns he, with wilful recklessness.，"Pray sit down," says Rodney, politely: "if you insist on spending your evening with me, let me at least know that you are comfortable."
