"You shall guess," says Mrs. Geoffrey, gayly, with a little laugh. "Now, where do you think?" "Go and dance, my dear," he says, quickly, in a tone that decides her. It is to please him, for his sake, she must do this thing; and so, without any awkward hesitation, yet without undue haste, she turns and lays her hand on the Australian's arm. A few minutes later she is floating round the room in his arms, and, passing by Geoffrey, though she sees him not, is seen by him. "Well, no; but I dare say I shall before I am done with you. Besides, it occurred to me I might as well have a last look at you before consigning my body to the grave.".

"Turn it where, darling?" asks she, a little dreamily. "Oh, now, Mrs. Geoffrey, come—I say—how cruel yon can be!" "Oh, poor Nicholas!" says Mona sadly, "and poor little Doatie!" "Ah! sure you know I wouldn't do that, now," returns she, with a stronger touch of her native brogue than she has used for many a day; at which they all laugh heartily, even Lady Rodney chiming in as easily as though the day had never been when she had sneered contemptuously at that selfsame Irish tongue..
