"It is quite an old story," goes on Nolly. "I don't like Mr. Boer," says Mona, "and it was not me he came to see." "Something," replies he, with a short laugh. "I shall at least see you again on the 19th." "I wish you would not talk of being buried," says Mona, with a sob. "There is no comfort in the tomb: there our dust may mingle, but in heaven our souls shall meet, I trust,—I hope.".
