Mona is looking up to it now, with a rapt, pensive gaze, her great blue eyes gleaming beneath its light. She is sitting upon the side of the hill, with her hands clasped about her knees, a thoughtful expression on her lovely face.

"I don't know, I'm sure. I have never thought about it. Did I cry, Geoffrey, when——" hesitates Mrs. Geoffrey, with a laugh, and a faint sweet blush. "I have disappointed you," she says, tremulously, tears rising quickly. "I am a failure! I am not like the others." "Is it? I always heard it was rather a jolly sort of little place, once you got into it—well." "Quite right. And I am the young English gentleman," says Geoffrey, lifting his hat again by way of introduction..
