"You condemn me without a hearing, swayed by the influence of a carefully educated dislike," retorts he: "Now you are their friend forever," says Mona, in a pleased tone.

"I expect they thought me beneath their notice, and, as they wouldn't hate me, they were forced to love me. Of course they treated the idea of paying up as a good joke, and spoke a great deal about a most unpleasant person called Griffith and his valuation, whatever that may be.
