"Well, we have both seen the bay," says Mona, cheerfully,—"Bantry Bay I mean: so we can talk about that. Yet indeed"—seriously—"you cannot be said to have seen it properly, as it is only by moonlight its full beauty can be appreciated. Then, with its light waves sparkling beneath the gleam of the stars, and the moon throwing a path across it that seems to go on and on, until it reaches heaven, it is more satisfying than a happy dream.

She sighs, then looks at the sky, and—sighs again. "No?" says Lauderdale, laughing. "But why, then? There is no other Mrs. Rodney, is there?" "You have come quite half an hour earlier than we expected you," says Sir Nicholas, looking with fond satisfaction into Miss Darling's eyes. "These trains are very uncertain." "No, no," said Scarface, "we must not go there. Those are terrible birds; they will kill us.".
