"They certainly must be a lively lot, if all one hears is true," says Geoffrey, with a suppressed yawn. "Now, do they?" says Mona. "I thought they always wore lovely clothes. In books they always do; but I was too young when with Aunt Anastasia in Dublin to go out. Somehow, what one imagines is sure to be wrong.

"He would kill me, and you. His anger would be fearful.".
