He is happy, yet full of a secret gnawing uneasiness that weighs upon him daily, hourly. Near Mona—when in her presence—a gladness that amounts almost to perfect happiness is his; apart from her is unrest. Love, although he is but just awakening to the fact, has laid his chubby hands upon him, and now holds him in thrall; so that no longer for him is that most desirable thing content,—which means indifference. Rather is he melancholy now and then, and inclined to look on life apart from Mona as a doubtful good.,"You are wrong," says Mona, coldly. "They seldom trouble themselves to speak of you at all." This is crueller than she knows.,Mickey, as he grows desperate, grows bolder. He rises to speech.,"I am a stranger; I know nothing," she says again, hardly knowing what to say, and moving a little as though she would depart.,Mona smiles too in return, though still heavy at heart.，"I'm sure I don't wonder," says Geoffrey, very humbly. "I beg your pardon a thousand times; and—good-by, Miss Mona."，"I don't, but I know Lady Mary and Miss Blake always get their things from a woman called Manning."，"Blame no one," says Mona.

One is nowhere if not bizarre," says Rodney, laughing; "so I dare say you will find yourself the very height of fashion.","Then why does he prosecute the poor? We can't live; yet he won't lower the rints," says a sullen voice from the background.,"I won't betray you," she says. "You may trust me. Where are they stationed?","From whom?" demands Mona, lazily, seeing the writing is unknown to her.,All this she breathes forth in disjointed sentences as she rushes, like a light-footed deer, across the ploughed land into the wet grass beyond.,"Well, that was just my luck, you see," says Darling "We have some property there. And, as I am not of much account at home, 'my awful dad' sent me over to Ireland to see why the steward didn't get in the rents. Perhaps he hoped the natives might pepper me; but, if so, it didn't come off. The natives, on the contrary, quite took to me, and adopted me on the spot. I was nearly as good as an original son of Erin in a week.","I didn't mean that, and I never hint," exclaims Mona, angrily; "and if you insist on the truth, if I must explain to you what I particularly desire to keep secret, you——","Thin I may go, miss?" says Mickey.,"Where has Mona taken the duchess?" asks Lady Rodney of Sir Nicholas half an hour later.,"Loved nothing better than a—oh, how you must have misunderstood me!" says Rodney, with mournful earnestness, liberally sprinkled with reproach.,There is a pause.
