We agreed for Kingston," said a voice.，"As you have refused to explain your presence here to me, you shall remain where you now are until help arrives," says Mona, with evident determination.Naturally Sir William grieved over this consideration. Here was a beautiful girl and an heiress, belonging to one of the oldest families in the country; her father had exhibited no[Pg 89] marked ambition in the direction of her marriage; he was willing to leave her to choose, having confidence in her judgment, and convinced that her choice would be dictated by regard to her own happiness.
