"You never saw an angel, so you can't say," says Mona, still sadly severe. "And I am unhappy. How will your mother, Mrs. Rodney, like your marrying me, when you might marry so many other people,—that Miss Mansergh, for instance?" "Oh! so you can ride, then," says Lauderdale, alluding probably to the cause of his late merriment. "Is that what you think?" he says, earnestly. "Then for once you are wrong.

But Geoffrey to whom the situation has its charm, takes up the broken thread. "A nice time to offer such advice as that," says Rodney, moodily. "But I shan't take it. Mona,"—seizing her hands and speaking more in passionate excitement than even in love,—"say at once you will keep your word and marry me."
