Do you remember some lines like these? they come to me just now:,To the surprise of everybody, Geoffrey takes no open notice of his mother's speech.

He deliberately replaces the precious paper in his pocket, and turns as if to go.，"Good-by," says Mona, softly, giving him her hand. He keeps it fast in both his own.

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 cold seems hardly to touch Mona, so wrapped she is in the beauties of the night. There is at times a solemn indefinable pleasure in the thought that we are awake whilst all the world sleepeth; that we alone are thinking, feeling, holding high communion with our own hearts and our God.,"Now you are their friend forever," says Mona, in a pleased tone.
