And as to the parlor,"—in a melancholy tone,—"I could not be happy there, or anywhere, just at present. Unless, indeed,"—this in a very low but carefully distinct tone,—"it be here!",Lady Rodney regards him curiously, trying to read his downcast face. Has the foolish boy at last been brought to see a flaw in his idol of clay?,"Worse!" repeats his mother, in a withering tone. In this mood she is not nice, and a very little of her suffices.,"I will show you," he said.,"It was unfortunate Mona should have met them at the hall door,—Edith Carson told me about it,—but it could not be helped," says Violet calmly.，"I am indeed dear to you, I think," says Mona, softly and thankfully, growing a little pale through the intensity of her emotion.，Under the sun!'，"I feel no pain," returns he, gallantly.And Mona had marked his embarrassment, and had quickly, with all the vivacity that belongs to her race, drawn her own conclusions therefrom, which were for the most part correct.
