"And you don't mind us keeping your five shillings?"
"I shall like to think of it reposing in that scarlet bag you told me about!"
He went, and Mona turned sharply upon Jill—
"Run away, child, to Miss Falkner. It is getting late, you have been here long enough."
Jill obeyed, wondering why her sister spoke so crossly.
It was a few days after this that Jill discovered two more trespassers in the vicinity of Bethel.
She was by herself, and did not feel quite so ready to arrest them when they proved to be Mona and Captain Willoughby.
They had been wandering through the plantation, and Captain Willoughby's voice was very low and earnest when the sudden appearance of Jill startled and disconcerted him.
"You can't come any further, I'm afraid," said Jill barring the way; "for you'll be trespassing."
Mona looked at her in amusement.
