"That isn't her name at all," says Geoffrey. "My father was a baronet, you know: she is Lady Rodney." "Do you sing?" asks he, through mere force of habit, as she pauses. "Oh! catch him! do catch him!" cries Mona, "Look, there he is again! Don't you see?" with growing excitement. "Over there, under that bush. Why on earth can't you see him? Ha! there he is again!
