"Your people won't hear of it.",She makes him no answer.,"Yes, really. Horrid bore, isn't it?—but county dinners must be attended, and Nicholas will do nothing. Besides, it isn't fair to ask him just now, dear old fellow, when he has so much upon his mind.","I thought so all along," says Geoffrey, gravely.,"Are you one of the others?"，"She took her to see the lake. Mona, you know, raves about it, when the moon lights it up.，"Oh, yes, thank you," says Mona, who is both surprised and carried away by the other's unexpected eloquence.，"Mona, it has all been too much for you," exclaims he, with deep concern."And quite right too," says Lauderdale. "You remember what Scott says:

When he returned with his daughters they skinned the cow and cut it up and, carrying it, went home. The young man had his wives leave the meat at his own lodge and told his father-in-law to go home. He did not give him even a little piece of the meat. The two older daughters gave their parents nothing to eat, but sometimes the youngest one had pity on them and took a piece of meat and, when she could, threw it into the lodge to the old people. The son-in-law had told his wives not to give the old people anything to eat. Except for the good heart of the youngest daughter they would have died of hunger.,"Now I hope you will feel less pain," she says, with modest triumph.,Whenever these lines come to me I think of Mona.,They appear a kindly, gentle, good-humored people,—easily led, no doubt (which is their undoing), but generous to the heart's core; a people who can speak English fluently (though with a rich brogue) and more grammatically than the Sassenachs themselves (of their own class), inasmuch as they respect their aspirates and never put an h in or leave one out in the wrong place.,Her voice falters. Instinctively she looks round for help. She feels deserted,—alone. No one speaks.

"A drawback, I own; but even the very greatest are not infallible.","You are not really going there, Geoff?",The momentous Friday comes at last, and about noon Mona and Geoffrey start for the Towers. They are not, perhaps, in the exuberant spirits that should be theirs, considering they are going to spend their Christmas in the bosom of their family,—at all events, of Geoffrey's family which naturally for the future she must acknowledge as hers. They are indeed not only silent, but desponding, and as they get out of the train at Greatham and enter the carriage sent by Sir Nicholas to meet them their hearts sink nearly into their boots, and for several minutes no words pass between them.,"Is it a long drive, Geoff?" she asks, presently, in a trembling tone, slipping her hand into his in the old fashion. "About six miles. I say, darling, keep up your spirits; if we don't like it, we can leave, you know. But"—alluding to her subdued voice—"don't be imagining evil.","No; but I can fancy him, with his horrid bald head.
