But Mona laughs for the first time for many hours—which delights Doatie.，"Measles," said Maurice.，"How dare you find a defect in my appearance?" says Mona, with her old gay laugh. "You compel me to retaliate. Just look at yourself. Did you ever see such a regular pickle as you are?"，"That? Oh, Carol Lawton wrote that for us before she left. She was a corker, I can tell you."
