"It is very strange," says Mona, with a dissatisfied sigh, "but I'll tell you all about it by and by." "Yes" replies he, slowly as though regretful that he cannot deny his own identity. Apple-blossom suggests the orchard, whereon Violet reddens perceptibly, and Nolly grows cold with fright, and feels a little more will make him faint..

While the major was thus considering what step he should take, David, returning from a long and solitary walk, entered the room. Of late the young man had indulged in these lonely excursions, whence he always returned more melancholy than ever.

And might she not yet further widen the breach between mother and son by an ill-timed show of affection for the latter?
