DICE and ROLL (slowed) addressed herself to Salome. This is a betise of the first water. And Lady Rodney, who can hear—and is listening to—every word, almost groans aloud.,“It seems to me that you fellows hit on a really excellent plan to occupy your time during the summer. Who thought of it?” he asked after examining the plot.,Whenever these lines come to me I think of Mona.,“Lots o’ them, St. Elmo. I seen some the other evenin’ in the moonlight. Some was dressed in green an’ silver, some in white an’ silver. They danced in an’ out among the sunflowers.”,"Answer me," persists Mona, not heeding—nay, scarcely hearing—his last speech. "You said once it would be difficult to lie to me.
