Dido was up to some mischief. She stole the body with Etwald; but why? why?" muttered Jen, in perplexed tones.,When she knows Mona she will love her,—who could help it? so he argues; and for this reason he keeps silence until such time as, his marriage being a fait accompli, hopeless expostulation will be of no avail, and will, therefore, be suppressed.,"Say that again, young one," she demanded imperatively.
