"I wonder you are not afraid of going too far," he puts in, warningly, his dark eyes flashing. "Your husband is looking for you," she says to Mona, in an icy tone. "You had better go to him. This is no place for you." "Oh, well, that's it," says Mr. Darling, somewhat relieved. "I'm an awful duffer not to have guessed that Geoffrey's being out would keep you awake.".
