"Perhaps that is what makes me so nice," retorts Miss Mona, saucily, the sense of fun still full upon her, making him a small grimace, and bestowing upon him a bewitching glance from under her long dark lashes, that lie like shadows on her cheeks. As he makes this last extraordinary remark he looks over his left shoulder, as though fearful of being overheard. "No?" arching her brows, and looking really sorry for her. "What a pity! They all come quite naturally to me. I don't remember ever being taught them. The music seemed to inspire me, and I really dance them very well. Don't I Geoff?" Mona has no time to hear more; pale, but collected, she walks deliberately into the room and up to Lady Rodney..
