But Jenkins" (the old butler) "has promised to manage it all for me, and to smuggle my dear dogs up to my room without any one being in the least the wiser." The whole scene is at an end. A life has been saved. And they two, Mona and Geoffrey, are once more alone beneath the "earnest stars." "Go to the spring," said the chief, "and tell that young man to let the girl go; she is to be my wife." "Then, no doubt, she heaped upon you priceless gems of Irish wit in her mother-tongue?".
