"Will it?" says Geoffrey, oddly. "I have nothing to do with you. Go your ways. It is with him I have to settle," says the man, morosely. "I don't quite know," says Mona, slowly, "but what Uncle Brian principally studies is—pigs!".

Tired at length, and feeling somewhat chilled, Mona rouses herself from her reverie, and, followed by her two faithful guardians, moves towards the staircase. Passing the armored men that stand in niches along the walls, a little sensation of fear, a certain belief in the uncanny, runs through her. She looks in a terrified fashion over her left shoulder, and shudders perceptibly. Do dark fiery eyes look upon her in very truth from those ghastly visors?—surely a clank of supernatural armor smote upon her ear just then!

"Yes; let me go to him," says Mona, quickly; "I shall know what to say better than you." For this master of the Towers (so the story ran) Elspeth, in her younger days, had borne a love too deep for words, when she herself was soft and rosy-cheeked, with a heart as tender and romantic as her eyes were blue, and when her lips, were for all the world like "cherries ripe.".
