"It would be rude to deny that," he says, with a slight shrug. "I am sure you are always in the right." "How I wish it didn't!" says Mona, with a sigh.

Oh! certainty full of rapture..

Your new master, Mr. Paul Rodney, whom you have chosen to obey in preference to those in whose employ you have been, will give you your commands from this day. Go to him, and after this try to be faithful." Now will he seize this blessed opportunity, and, laden with the spoils of war, approach her dwelling (already she is "she"), and triumphantly, albeit humbly, lay the fern at her feet, and so perchance gain the right to bask for a few minutes in the sunshine of her presence..
