"No doubt some draper from the town."，"I don't know, sir."，"I said so," murmurs Mona, meekly.，"Oh, poor Nicholas!" says Mona sadly, "and poor little Doatie!"But to Geoffrey—lest the telling should cause him unhappiness—she had said nothing of her discovery; only when the morning came that saw him depart upon his mission (now so well understood by her), she had kissed him, and told him to "hurry, hurry, hurry back to her," with a little sob between each word.
