"Yes, it is strange why that wall should be different from the others," Mona says, rather glad that he appears interested in something besides herself. "But it is altogether quite a nice old room, is it not?" "Oh, no," says Mona, gently; "only I should like you better, of course, if you were not the cause of our undoing." "We thought she was with you," says Captain Rodney, idly. Alone disturb the stillness of the scene,".
