He tells Mona she is very welcome, and, still holding her hand, draws her over to the fire, and moves a big arm-chair in front of it, in which he ensconces her, bidding her warm herself, and make herself (as he says with a kindly smile that has still kinder meaning in it) "quite at home." A wave o' the sea, that you might ever do "Or like the 'sweet little cherub that sits up aloft.' There is something cherubic about you, do you know Nolly, when one comes to think of it.

"You terrify me," says Geoffrey, with a grimace. "You think, then, that Mona is pretty?" She beckons to them, and, rising slowly, they advance towards Rodney, who involuntarily moves back a little.

Your tears hurt me more than this wound that has done me to death.".
