But I have some common sense, I hope.","'And the message,' he says, 'this is ut: "Off Gibson's Grove at tin o'clock,"' says he."，Patricia and Elinor exchanged a swift glance.，"You will see in a few minutes. Miss Dallas, you look pale. I hope soon to bring back the roses to your cheeks. Major--"，"It's failed ye have, as I knowed ye wud," he chuckled. "Ye best be lavin' now, both av ye, wid yer pranks.""Well, we have both seen the bay," says Mona, cheerfully,—"Bantry Bay I mean: so we can talk about that.
