"What a disagreeable-looking man that is over there!" she says: "the man with the shaggy beard, I mean, and the long hair." Kŭt-o-yĭs´ shot the son-in-law four times and he fell down and died. Then the young man told his father to go and bring down to him the daughters who had acted badly toward him. The old man did so and Kŭt-o-yĭs´ punished them. Then he went up to the lodges and said to the youngest woman, "Did you love your husband?" "Yes," said the girl, "I loved him." So Kŭt-o-yĭs´ punished her too, but not so badly as he had the other daughters, because she had been kind to her parents. "No," says Mona, shaking her head. "Not—not to-night. I shall soon.".

Everybody at this smiles involuntarily,—everybody, that is, except Nolly, who feels faint again, and turns a rich and lively crimson. "I may say that horrid speech, but I certainly can't pretend I was bored during our drive, because I am not," says Mona. "Dinner will be ready in a few minutes: of course we shall excuse your dressing to-night," says Lady Rodney, addressing her son far more than Mona, though the words presumably are meant for her. Whereupon Mona, rising from her chair with a sigh of relief, follows Geoffrey out of the room and upstairs. "You aren't angry, are you?" says Mona, now really contrite. "I couldn't help it, and it was like it, you know.".
