And Nicholas should be grateful But I think you will find one dose of Lady Lilias and her ancient Briton sufficient for your lifetime."，"I regret that I met them," says Mona, who will not say she regrets she told the truth.，"I'll take it," says Nicholas; "but, even if you did, I should still owe you a debt of gratitude for bringing Doatie here thirty minutes before we hoped for her.""It is better she should go alone," says Dr. Bland.
