"It is only this. It would not make you happy,—not afterwards, when you could see the difference between me and the other women you have known. You are a gentleman; I am only a farmer's niece." She says this bravely, though it is agony to her proud nature to have to confess it.,This is just a little too much. Mona gives way. Standing well back from her butter, she lets her pretty rounded bare arms fall lightly before her to their full length, and as her fingers clasp each other she turns to Rodney and breaks into a peal of laughter sweet as music.,So much had she told him, and the light had gone from her eyes, the song from her lips.,"I don't know.

"Oh, as for him, he is perfectly utter!—such a man to follow in Nicholas's footsteps!","There was ample necessity for prompt action," replied Etwald, with some dryness, "as neither David nor I wished to be arrested.
