This is "sarkassum;" but Mona comprehends it not. "I am not going to suffer," says Mona, lightly. "Sorrow only falls on every second generation; and you know poor mother was very unhappy at one time: therefore I am free. You will call that superstition, but," with a grave shake of her head, "it is quite true." "I can't," says Mona; "it would be very unfair; and besides," petulantly, "it is all too absurd.

"Don't be any time. Just give that to Kitty, and say one prayer, and be back in ten minutes." There is something deplorably lame about this exposition, when you take into consideration the fact that the new lovers have been, during the past two months, always absent from the rest of the family, as a rule..
