"Then, thank you, Mrs. Corcoran, I will have a potato," says Rodney, gratefully, honest hunger and the knowledge that it will please Mona to be friendly with "her people," as she calls them, urging him on.

Geoffrey, who has tears in his eyes, takes her in his arms and kisses her once softly, before them all..

At this point, Geoffrey—who has been hunting all the morning—enters the room with Captain Rodney. "The name of the place I mean to stay at—my own actual property—is called Coolnagurtheen," goes on Geoffrey, heedless of her censure. At this Mona turns her gaze secretly upon him.
