"Yes, you do," says Mona, with a little obstinate shake of her head. "You call us dirty, for one thing." "Yes, it is strange why that wall should be different from the others," Mona says, rather glad that he appears interested in something besides herself. "But it is altogether quite a nice old room, is it not?" But Mona will not be entreated; sweetly, but firmly, she declines to alter the sobriquet given her so long ago now.

Both gentlemen knew him slightly. They ventured on this occasion to stop and accost him. They asked him if it was true that news of a French cruiser being off the coast had come to hand, and he answered that he had not heard of such a ship being near the coast.

"It is very good of you to say that," says Nolly, meekly but gratefully. "It gives me great support. You honestly believe, then, that I may escape?" "Why, what is the matter?" he says, seeing signs of the lively storm on all their faces. Doatie explains hurriedly. "Ah! indeed! How interesting!" says Lady Lilias, rousing into something that very nearly borders on animation. "I did not think there was in England another room like this."
