There is evidently comfort in the thought. Then after a moment or two he goes on again, as though following out a pleasant idea: "Some day, perhaps, that vault will hold you too; and there at least we shall meet again, and be side by side.",yet there is grandeur, too, in the scene around, and a beauty scarcely to be rivalled by June's sweetest efforts.，"Good by, dear Paul," says Mona, very gently, impressed by his evident grief and earnestness.，"Do you recollect all you said, or one-half of it? You said it would be well if I hated you."，"I think I shall have Allspice too," goes on Mona. "But say nothing. Lady Rodney, if she knew it, would not allow it for a moment. 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."Lady Rodney, too, is quite happy. Everything has come right; all is smooth again; there is no longer cause for chagrin and never-ending fear.

The footman who is in attendance on them has gone on before to announce their coming: they are therefore for the moment alone.,"Oh, no, I shouldn't," he says, gently; and then the subject drops.,"You are certainly too strong for me," says Rodney, with a frown and a peculiar smile.,"Or like the 'sweet little cherub that sits up aloft.' There is something cherubic about you, do you know Nolly, when one comes to think of it. But finish your tale.",Had she put out all her powers of invention with a view to routing him with slaughter, she could not have been more successful than she is with this small unpremeditated speech. Had a thunderbolt fallen at his feet, he could not have betrayed more thorough and complete discomfiture.,Then she opens the letter, and reads as follows:,Jenkins, the antediluvian butler, proves himself a man of his word.
