Now they began to do their best to make life easier for the good old woman who had worked so hard to keep them from starving and freezing. To the surprise of everybody, Geoffrey takes no open notice of his mother's speech. He does not give way to wrath, nor does he open his lips on any subject. His face is innocent of anger, horror, or distrust. It changes, indeed, beneath the glow of the burning logs but in a manner totally unexpected. An expression that might even be termed hope lights it up. Like this do his thoughts run: "Can it be possible that the Australian has caved in, and, fearing publicity after last night's fiasco, surrendered the will to Mona?" So determined is her aspect that Geoffrey shows the white feather, and, crying "mea culpa," beats a hasty retreat..

"It was for you," she says, hanging her head. "I thought if I could do something to make you happier, you might learn to love me a little!" The minutes go by slowly, slowly; a clock from some distant steeple chimes the hour. The soft pattering of rain upon the walk outside, and now upon the window-pane, is all the sound that can be heard. "You're a nice boy, you are!" says Mr. Rodney; "Here, give me the bag! Perhaps you would like me to carry you too; but I shan't, so you needn't ask me. Are you hungry?" "You will be near too, Geoffrey?" murmurs Mona, falteringly..
