"What are you doing?" asks Geoffrey, presently, when they have returned to everyday life. "I don't care what you have said," interrupts Mona, quickly. She has her arms round Lady Rodney's waist by this time, and is regarding her beseechingly. "Indeed, I do not hate you," she says impulsively. "Believe me, I do not. But still I fear you.".
