Whereupon Mona, rising from her chair with a sigh of relief, follows Geoffrey out of the room and upstairs.,Bruce, however, was remarkably absent in his reply.,"Oh, yes, you will; when Mr. Alymer is dead.",The sun was hot as they rode and they kept close to the winding river where there was some vegetation and a few trees that gave a little shelter. After they had covered several miles they came upon crude attempts at irrigation which extended the fertility of the land back some distance from the river.，"That new boy; his name's Jim Scroggie. His dad's rented the Stanley house on the hill."，"Indeed she will not;" says Mona indignantly. "Irish peasants very seldom do that.
