He has not thought of her as one versed in lore of any kind. "What poets do you prefer?","Haven't you?" in surprise. "Why it is the most enchanting thing in the world. Oh, you must see it: you will be delighted with it. Come with me, and I will show it to you," says Mona, eagerly, rising from her seat in her impulsive fashion.，"About Dido, sir?"，Elinor's face clouded. "But I have only started the outline," she confessed. "And I'm awfully weak on putting in the tones. I'm afraid I'll make a fizzle of it."，"She is not brainless; she was only frightened.

Then Elgin said maybe you had come the ha'nted house way, so we struck through the bush an' tried to pick up your trail.
