"It is a dark and terrible journey to take, with no one near who loves one, with no one to feel a single regret when one has departed." At this Geoffrey gives way to mirth.

"Is he there?" asks Mona, pointing with trembling fingers to the house. He lays his hands lightly on her arm, yet his touch seems to burn through her gown into her very flesh. He stoops towards her. She makes him no answer. "Eh?" says Geoffrey, rather taken back. "Cold" and "proud" he cannot deny, even to himself, are words that suit his mother rather more than otherwise..
