I did not notice her the other night," says Mona.,"And where is Mr. Sarby?" asked the inspector, as they turned to leave the room.,She understands, indeed, that Sir Launcelot was a very naughty young man, who should not have been received in respectable houses,—especially as he had no money to speak of,—and that Sir Modred and Sir Gawain, had they lived in this critical age, would undoubtedly have been pronounced bad form and expelled from decent clubs.
