"We object to the uncovered hide of the pig, and to his small eyes; but can they not see as well as those of the fawn, or the delicate lapdog we fondle all day on our knees? It is unjust that one animal should be treated with less regard than another." "Ah! here she is," says the duchess, looking at the girl's bright face with much interest, and turning graciously towards Mona.

"Put it on you," says Geoffrey. "'By and by' I shall be your wife," says Mona, archly, "and then my days for receiving flattery will be at an end. Sure you needn't grudge me a few pretty words now.".
