"On'y watchin', miss, to see what they'd do," confesses he, shifting from one foot to the other, and growing palpably confused beneath her searching gaze. "'My love in her attire doth show her wit; It seems such a direct running commentary on Mona's supposed ill deed that every one—as by a single impulse—looks up.
