Have
you
thought
of
any
better
way
of
arriving
at
the
truth
?
’
he
asked
.
’
Who
is
to
help
us
?
No
doubt
there
is
the
Countess
,
who
has
the
clue
to
the
mystery
in
her
own
hands
.
But
,
in
the
present
state
of
her
mind
,
is
her
testimony
to
be
trusted
—
even
if
she
were
willing
to
speak
?
Judging
by
my
own
experience
,
I
should
say
decidedly
not
.
’
’
You
don
’
t
mean
that
you
have
seen
her
again
?
’
Agnes
eagerly
interposed
.
’
Yes
.
I
disturbed
her
once
more
over
her
endless
writing
;
and
I
insisted
on
her
speaking
out
plainly
.
’
’
Then
you
told
her
what
you
found
when
you
opened
the
hiding
-
place
?
’
’
Of
course
I
did
!
’
Henry
replied
.
’
I
said
that
I
held
her
responsible
for
the
discovery
,
though
I
had
not
mentioned
her
connection
with
it
to
the
authorities
as
yet
.
She
went
on
with
her
writing
as
if
I
had
spoken
in
an
unknown
tongue
!
I
was
equally
obstinate
,
on
my
side
.
I
told
her
plainly
that
the
head
had
been
placed
under
the
care
of
the
police
,
and
that
the
manager
and
I
had
signed
our
declarations
and
given
our
evidence
.
She
paid
not
the
slightest
heed
to
me
.
By
way
of
tempting
her
to
speak
,
I
added
that
the
whole
investigation
was
to
be
kept
a
secret
,
and
that
she
might
depend
on
my
discretion
.
For
the
moment
I
thought
I
had
succeeded
.
She
looked
up
from
her
writing
with
a
passing
flash
of
curiosity
,
and
said
,
"
What
are
they
going
to
do
with
it
?
"
—
meaning
,
I
suppose
,
the
head
.
I
answered
that
it
was
to
be
privately
buried
,
after
photographs
of
it
had
first
been
taken
.
I
even
went
the
length
of
communicating
the
opinion
of
the
surgeon
consulted
,
that
some
chemical
means
of
arresting
decomposition
had
been
used
and
had
only
partially
succeeded
—
and
I
asked
her
point
-
blank
if
the
surgeon
was
right
?
The
trap
was
not
a
bad
one
—
but
it
completely
failed
.
She
said
in
the
coolest
manner
,
"
Now
you
are
here
,
I
should
like
to
consult
you
about
my
play
;
I
am
at
a
loss
for
some
new
incidents
.
"
Mind
!
there
was
nothing
satirical
in
this
.
She
was
really
eager
to
read
her
wonderful
work
to
me
—
evidently
supposing
that
I
took
a
special
interest
in
such
things
,
because
my
brother
is
the
manager
of
a
theatre
!
I
left
her
,
making
the
first
excuse
that
occurred
to
me
.
So
far
as
I
am
concerned
,
I
can
do
nothing
with
her
.
But
it
is
possible
that
your
influence
may
succeed
with
her
again
,
as
it
has
succeeded
already
.
Will
you
make
the
attempt
,
to
satisfy
your
own
mind
?
She
is
still
upstairs
;
and
I
am
quite
ready
to
accompany
you
.
’
Agnes
shuddered
at
the
bare
suggestion
of
another
interview
with
the
Countess
.
’
I
can
’
t
!
I
daren
’
t
!
’
she
exclaimed
.
’
After
what
has
happened
in
that
horrible
room
,
she
is
more
repellent
to
me
than
ever
.
Don
’
t
ask
me
to
do
it
,
Henry
!
Feel
my
hand
—
you
have
turned
me
as
cold
as
death
only
with
talking
of
it
!
’
She
was
not
exaggerating
the
terror
that
possessed
her
.
Henry
hastened
to
change
the
subject
.
