Then Geoffrey offers Mona his hand, and leads her to the centre of the polished floor. There they salute each other in a rather Grandisonian fashion, and then separate.,Mr Lawrence easily perceived that he didn't,[Pg 154] and went on his way always hunting with his eyes.

To Rodney, who is watching her anxiously, she seems positively transformed. What a terrible power lies within her slight frame to feel both good and evil!
