The rooms were ghastly enough to freeze the blood in one's veins, and no candles would light 'em. The beds were all four-posters, with heavy curtains round them, so high that one had to get a small ladder to mount into bed. I remember one time—it was during harvest, and the mowers were about—I suggested to Lord Daintree he should get the men in to mow down the beds; but no one took any notice of my proposal, so it fell to the ground. I was frightened to death, and indeed was more in awe of the four-posters than of the old man, who wasn't perhaps half bad."，Pour the rich libation high;'He usually attended me when night might best conceal his visits; though these were irregular in their return.

The eyes he turned upon the woman when she sharply spoke his name were blue and tranquil.,Again she has grown silent, as though oppressed with thought; and he too is mute, but all his mind is crowded with glad anticipations of what the near future is to give him.

At length, struck by her persistent taciturnity, he says, "What is it, Mona?","I think I should like your mother," she says, naively and very sweetly, lifting her eyes steadily to his.
