"It seems horrible to me that Mona should be on friendly terms with your enemy," says Geoffrey, passionately. "I wonder you are not afraid of going too far," he puts in, warningly, his dark eyes flashing. Sir Nicholas is there, silent, but angry, as Violet knows by the frown upon his brow. With his mother he never quarrels, merely expressing disapproval by such signs as an unwillingness to speak, and a stern grave line that grows upon his lips..
