Mona, turning not to Nicholas or to Doatie or to Geoffrey but to Lady Rodney, throws the paper into her lap. Lady Rodney holds out her hand, and Mona lays hers within it.

His looks betray his wish. And Mona, stooping, very willingly bestows upon him one of the sweetest little kisses imaginable. "It appears he had a pocket-pistol with him, Sir Nicholas, and going home through the wood he stumbled over some roots, and it went off and injured him fatally. It is an internal wound, my lady. Dr. Bland, who is with him, says there is no hope." And confident to morrow." Then there is silence for a full minute, during which Miss Mansergh casts a reproachful glance at the irrepressible Jack..
