After which the would-be lecture comes to an end, and the three girls, clothing themselves in furs, go for a short walk before the day quite closes in.,"Down below in the hollow, miss,—jist behind the hawthorn-bush. Go home some other way, Miss Mona: they're bint on blood.","Nicholas," cries she, a little sharply, "what is it you would say?","It is, miss; I know it, sir; but if the old man comes out an' finds the mare widout her bed, there'll be all the world to pay, an' he'll be screechin' mad."，"Or like Nolly's story that he declines telling me," says Violet, with a laugh.，"Dear Lady Rodney," she says, in a tremulous tone, "are you quite sure the note was from that—that man?"，"And Uncle Brian?" asks Mona, fearfully.The morning wanes, and luncheon declares itself. When it has come to an end, Mona going slowly up the stairs to her own room is met there by one of the maids,—not her own,—who hands her a sealed note.

Doatie and Geoffrey have walked to a distant slit. Nolly is gazing vacantly through another, trying feebly to discern the landscape beyond. Lady Rodney is on thorns. They are all listening to what Mona is going to say next.,"Is there? Then I shall certainly return for it," says Geoffrey, who is too much of a gentleman to pretend to understand all her words seem to imply. "It is really no journey from this to England.",Mona has no time to hear more; pale, but collected, she walks deliberately into the room and up to Lady Rodney.,"I—I should like to say good-by to Miss Mona, and thank her for all her goodness to me, before going," says the young man, rising somewhat slowly.,She doesn't put any g into her "charming," which, however, is neither here or there, and is perhaps a shabby thing to take notice of at all.,"It was for you," she says, hanging her head. "I thought if I could do something to make you happier, you might learn to love me a little!",Miss Mona looks puzzled.,"Harder even than you know. He is engaged to one of the dearest little girls possible, but of course if this affair terminates in favor of—" he hesitates palpably, then says with an effort—"my cousin, the engagement comes to an end.","He has," says the duke. "But he has his reward, you know: nobody likes him. By the by, what horrid bad times they are having in your land!—ricks of hay burning nightly, cattle killed, everybody boycotted, and small children speared!","I regret that I met them," says Mona, who will not say she regrets she told the truth.,At last, as she grows weary for wishing for it,—,"It is very strange," says Mona, with a dissatisfied sigh, "but I'll tell you all about it by and by.".
