"Why not say the duke too?" says his mother, with a cold glance, to whom praise of Mona is anything but "cakes and ale." "Her flirtation with him is very apparent. It is disgraceful. Every one is noticing and talking about it. Geoffrey alone seems determined to see nothing! Like all under-bred people, she cannot know satisfaction unless perched upon the topmost rung of the ladder.",“Just in time, I reckon,” the Sheriff said[219] facetiously; “pull up that chest and come along to our party.”,"Of course you shall go, Ju dear," said Elinor, warmly.
