Later on, when they open the paper that had been given by the dead man into the keeping of Dr. Bland, and which proves to be his will, duly signed and witnessed by the gamekeeper and his son, they find he has left to Mona all of which he died possessed. It amounts to about two thousand a year; of which one thousand is to come to her at once, the other on the death of his mother. "Well, perhaps I was," says Geoffrey, easily: "we are all mad on one subject or another, you know; mine may be Mona. She is an excuse for madness, certainly. At all events, I know I am happy, which quite carries out your theory, because, as Dryden says,— A very charming vision clad in Oxford shirting, and with a great white hat tied beneath her rounded chin with blue ribbons,—something in the style of a Sir Joshua Reynolds,—emerges from among the low-lying firs at this moment.

"I am sorry I can tell you nothing," says Mona, shaking her head. "I was never in this wood before; I know nothing of it." But hark! What is this that greets her ear? The ring of horse's feet upon the quiet road! "I am afraid of nothing," says Mona, simply.

In my turn I tell you to pause before going too far." "If on Friday night there is a good moon," says Rodney, boldly, "will you take me, as you promised, to see the Bay?".
