"Yes; it was her that called last week," returns her amiable mother-in-law, laying an unmistakable stress upon the pronoun. "But how could I help it?" says Mona, simply. "Oh, what a wretched state this country is in! turmoil and strife from morning till night.

"I'm as hungry as I can be," he says. "Comfort? I think of nothing else," she says, dreamily. The whole of the long north gallery is flooded with its splendor. The oriel window at its farther end is lighted up, and from it can be seen a picture, living, real, that resembles fairy-land..
