"I am thankful to say- not," responded Reginald Mohun, in a tone that made some laugh, and Gerald sigh in Anna's ear "Happy those who see only one side of a question."
'Do you know anything against her? asked Miss Mohun, looking volumes of repression at Gillian, whose brown eyes showed symptoms of glaring like a cat's, under her hat. 'I do not speak without warrant, Miss Mohun. She is one of those demure, proper-behaved sort that are really the worst flirts of all, if you'll excuse me.
"Yes; the best spy, you say, in the Federal army." "I think he is, general. He is a wonderful man. He recently played a trick upon you." "Upon me?" "At least he bore off a prisoner from you. It was a lady, captured by Colonel Mohun, one night on the Rappahannock." "Ah! Is it possible! So Swartz was the old countryman, driving the wagon that morning." "So he informed me, general."
From the black eyes shot a glare of defiance, and advancing upon Mohun, he delivered a blow at him which nearly shattered his opponent's sword. Mohun struck in turn, aiming a furious cut at Darke; but as he did so, he stumbled over the dead orderly, and nearly fell. For the moment he was at Darke's mercy.
It was lucky that Miss Mohun could exist without much sleep, for she was far too much worried for any length of slumber to visit her that night, though she was afoot as early as usual.
The Lord Mohun nodded, surly enough: so, Billy's cider being now drunk and Molly given over to an ostler, we set out down the hill together, Billy shouldering a pipe and walking after with the groom that led Sir Ralph's horse. Be sure the General's courtly manner of speech set my blood tingling.

I know no one who works harder than Miss White, between her business, her lodgers, the children, and her helpless mother.

"Some of them were mystified, but Gillian and Dolores Mohun were in ecstasies." "Ecstasies from that cheerful name?" "She is the New Zealand niece- Mr. Maurice Mohun's daughter.
Whatever John de Mohun saith is sooth, and I would rather mate my daughter with him than with many a man of fairer speech." "Then shall he have my pretty Bessee!" said the beggar, lingering over the words. "But one boon I would further ask, cousin; that thou breathe no word to him of my having sought thee."
