He is now speaking with some difficulty, and is looking, not at her, but at the pattern he is drawing on the soft loam at his feet. And Violet says, "Yes," obediently, and then the tears come into her eyes, and a smile is born upon her lips, so sweet, so new, as compels Doatie to whisper to Mona, a little later on, that she "didn't think it was in Violet to look like that." The young man replied, "I am mourning day and night, crying all the while. My little son, who is the only one left me, also mourns.".

She can hardly get on without her, and tells herself her blankest days are those when Mona and Geoffrey return to their own home, and the Towers no longer echoes to the musical laugh of old Brian Scully's niece, or to the light footfall of her pretty feet. Violet and Dorothy will no doubt be dear; but Mona, having won it against much odds, will ever hold first place in her affections. "Come in, Dorothy. I want to speak to you."
