"Yes; let me go to him," says Mona, quickly; "I shall know what to say better than you." He lifts his head here, and laughs aloud, a short, unmirthful laugh. At this voice every one starts! Mona, slipping her hand into Geoffrey's, draws him to one side; Lady Rodney rises from her sofa, and Sir Nicholas goes eagerly towards the door. "What's that?" asked Mona.
