She turns up one of the lamps, whilst Rodney still continues his contemplation of the wall before him. Conversation languishes, then dies. Mona, raising her hand to her lips, suppresses valiantly a yawn. Her tone is only too significant. His face has grown black again. A heavy frown sits on his brow.

She lowers her eyes, and a slow blush—for the blood rises with difficulty in the old—suffuses her face..
