extenslon Ten years of prestige But when they came to look for the will, lo! it was nowhere to be found. Each drawer and desk and cabinet was searched to no avail. Never did the lost document come to light.,"Because you were at home," replies Mona, quietly, though in deep distress.,But I blame the people you have fallen among,—not you.","What is amusing you?" asks he, a trifle stiffly.—To give way to recitation, and then find your listener in agonies of suppressed mirth, isn't exactly a situation one would hanker after.,"Wait here," says Geoffrey to his squire, and, going forward, rests the bag upon a low wall, and waits until the girl in question shall turn her head. When she does move he is still silent, for, behold, she has turned his head!，"It is true," says Violet, evenly. "Yet, dear Mona, I wish you could try to be a little more like the rest of the world."，Here she gets completely out of her depths, and stops to consider from whence this train of thought sprung. The pig is forgotten,—indeed, to get from pigs to diamonds and back again is not an easy matter,—and has to be searched for again amidst the dim recesses of her brain, and if possible brought to the surface.，He makes no reply. And for a full minute no word is spoken between them."How sad Nicholas looks!" says Mona, suddenly.

"Go home, Paddy. Go home to your mother." Then, changing her censuring manner to one of entreaty, she says, softly, "Go, because I ask you.",And made a sunshine in the shady place.",But Maxwell still lingers, looking first at her and then very intently at her companion.,This is a bad beginning. Mr. Rodney, before replying, judiciously gains time, and makes a diversion by poking the fire.,"I am so glad you are poor," says Mona. "If you were rich or even well off, I should never consent,—never!","But you didn't cut your throat, after all," says Mona, with a wicked little grimace.,A very faint smile crosses Sir Nicholas's lips.,"And the lamp, did you find it burning?","But why?" persists he.,"I would rather die than be unkind to you," says Mona, running her fingers with a glad sense of appropriation through his hair. "But this is what I mean; your mother will never forgive your marriage; she will not love me, and I shall be the cause of creating dissension between her and you." Again tears fill her eyes..
