"Neither could I," puts in Geoffrey. "But it was hard on you, my darling." "I don't, but I know Lady Mary and Miss Blake always get their things from a woman called Manning." Mona, who has blushed rosy red at his kiss, is now beaming on her lover, and has drawn back her skirts to admit of his coming a little closer to her.
