Now, Mr. Whitney went off in the direction of his cottage, and Bob to the office.,"Now, once for all, mother—" begins Nicholas, vehemently, but Geoffrey, with a gesture, silences him.，"Quite right, quite right!" broke in Major Jen, heartily. "I want Maurice to marry."，"I am afraid you are right," says Mona. "Oh, why did you come over at all?"，"It is illiterate writing, certainly; and the whole concern dilapidated to the last degree," goes on Rodney, still regarding the soiled paper with curiosity mingled with aversion. "Any objection to my putting it in the fire?""I see it," Maurice replied in guarded tones. "Bill, that light's comin' this way, sure as shootin'."
