In thought she had been miles away, and has just come back to the present with a start of guilt at her own neglect of her guest.

"Yes" replies he, slowly as though regretful that he cannot deny his own identity. "No doubt," returns his mother, sneeringly. "I will do my best," says Mona, earnestly; "but if I fail,—if after all my efforts your mother still refuses to love me, how will it be then?" Mona is quite pleased. All is new, which in itself is a pleasure to her, and the sanded floor carries her back on the instant to the old parlor at home, which was their "best" at the Farm..
