Swear you will remain with me to—to the end.",And very honestly, too, because at the time of their visits, when Lady Rodney was entertaining them in the big drawing-room and uttering platitudes and pretty lies by the score, she was deep in the recesses of the bare brown wood, roaming hither and thither in search of such few flowers as braved the wintry blasts.,"It is I,—Mona Scully," she calls aloud, when she is within a hundred yards of the hiding-place.

"Don't you be taken in, Mona.","You will be near too, Geoffrey?" murmurs Mona, falteringly.,That steals the sweetness from the shepherd's flute:,“If you’ll let me, I want to go to Rensselaer and study civil engineering.
