She looked up at him, meeting his eyes with an effort. "I am not dancing," she said. "Just one," he pleaded, with that air of gallantry that cloaked she knew not what. She hesitated, and then, almost in spite of herself, with something of the old regal graciousness, she yielded. "Just one, then, Major Hone, since to-morrow it will be good-bye."
Henry appreciated this proposal, and said there were plenty of things she could do; she could hone, she could pack, she could superintend, and keep the girls from gabbling; "That," said he, "is the real thing that keeps them behind the men at work."
Ultimately this great lawyer became an ideot, and I have understood from pretty good authority, that for some time before his death he was in the constant habit of repeating the names of Watson and Hone, with the most evident symptoms of horror and dismay, which he continued to do till the very last, as long, at least, as he was capable of utterance.
He pulled his handkerchief from his pocket, and waved it at the others of their party. They caught sight of it, and came hurrying over through the dust. Mrs. Saintsbury said, apparently as the sum of her consultations with Mrs. Pasmer: "The Tree is to be at half-past five; and after we've seen a few spreads, I'm going to take the ladies hone for a little rest."
His face was as long as the moral law, and p'rhaps an inch longer, and as smooth as a hone; and his voice was so soft and sweet, and his tongue moved so ily on its hinges, you'd a thought you might a trusted him with ontold gold, if you didn't care whether you ever got it agin or no.
I have wanted you for years." A great quiver went through her, as though every pulse leapt to the words he uttered. For a second she stood quite still, with her face lifted to the sunlight. Then she turned, without question or words of any sort, as she had turned long ago yet with a difference and laid her hand with perfect confidence in his. "Well played, Hone! Oh, well played indeed!"
"Widow machree, it's no wonder you frown, Och hone! widow machree: 'Faith, it ruins your looks, that same dirty black gown, Och hone! widow machree. How altered your hair, With that close cap you wear 'Tis destroying your hair Which should be flowing free: Be no longer a churl Of its black silken curl, Och hone! widow machree.
"It's yourself that has turned my head." Her laugh held more than a hint of scorn. "How amusing," she commented, "for both of us!" "Does it amuse you?" said Hone. The question did not call for a reply, and she made none. Only once more she gathered up some water out of the magic moonlit ripples, and tossed it in his face. They reached their destination far ahead of any of the others.

Long as she had known Hone, she was not familiar with this mood. He saw her hesitation, and smiled upon her persuasively. "You are not going to refuse my petition? It isn't yourself that would have the heart!" She laughed, in spite of herself. "Oh, go away, you wheedling Irishman! Yes, you may dine if you like. The Gerrards are coming for bridge, and you'll be odd man out.
