For
the
first
time
,
Agnes
spoke
sharply
.
’
Nonsense
,
Emily
!
Tell
me
the
name
directly
—
or
drop
the
subject
—
whichever
you
like
best
.
’
Emily
made
a
last
desperate
effort
.
She
wrung
her
handkerchief
hard
in
her
lap
,
and
let
off
the
name
as
if
she
had
been
letting
off
a
loaded
gun
:
—
’
Lord
Montbarry
!
’
Agnes
rose
and
looked
at
her
.
’
You
have
disappointed
me
,
’
she
said
very
quietly
,
but
with
a
look
which
the
courier
’
s
wife
had
never
seen
in
her
face
before
.
’
Knowing
what
you
know
,
you
ought
to
be
aware
that
it
is
impossible
for
me
to
communicate
with
Lord
Montbarry
.
I
always
supposed
you
had
some
delicacy
of
feeling
.
I
am
sorry
to
find
that
I
have
been
mistaken
.
’
Weak
as
she
was
,
Emily
had
spirit
enough
to
feel
the
reproof
.
She
walked
in
her
meek
noiseless
way
to
the
door
.
’
I
beg
your
pardon
,
Miss
.
I
am
not
quite
so
bad
as
you
think
me
.
But
I
beg
your
pardon
,
all
the
same
.
’
She
opened
the
door
.
Agnes
called
her
back
.
There
was
something
in
the
woman
’
s
apology
that
appealed
irresistibly
to
her
just
and
generous
nature
.
’
Come
,
’
she
said
;
’
we
must
not
part
in
this
way
.
Let
me
not
misunderstand
you
.
What
is
it
that
you
expected
me
to
do
?
’
Emily
was
wise
enough
to
answer
this
time
without
any
reserve
.
’
My
husband
will
send
his
testimonials
,
Miss
,
to
Lord
Montbarry
in
Scotland
.
I
only
wanted
you
to
let
him
say
in
his
letter
that
his
wife
has
been
known
to
you
since
she
was
a
child
,
and
that
you
feel
some
little
interest
in
his
welfare
on
that
account
.
I
don
’
t
ask
it
now
,
Miss
.
You
have
made
me
understand
that
I
was
wrong
.
’
Had
she
really
been
wrong
?
Past
remembrances
,
as
well
as
present
troubles
,
pleaded
powerfully
with
Agnes
for
the
courier
’
s
wife
.
’
It
seems
only
a
small
favour
to
ask
,
’
she
said
,
speaking
under
the
impulse
of
kindness
which
was
the
strongest
impulse
in
her
nature
.
’
But
I
am
not
sure
that
I
ought
to
allow
my
name
to
be
mentioned
in
your
husband
’
s
letter
.
Let
me
hear
again
exactly
what
he
wishes
to
say
.
’
Emily
repeated
the
words
—
and
then
offered
one
of
those
suggestions
,
which
have
a
special
value
of
their
own
to
persons
unaccustomed
to
the
use
of
their
pens
.
’
Suppose
you
try
,
Miss
,
how
it
looks
in
writing
?
’
Childish
as
the
idea
was
,
Agnes
tried
the
experiment
’
If
I
let
you
mention
me
,
’
she
said
,
’
we
must
at
least
decide
what
you
are
to
say
.
’
She
wrote
the
words
in
the
briefest
and
plainest
form
:
—
’
I
venture
to
state
that
my
wife
has
been
known
from
her
childhood
to
Miss
Agnes
Lockwood
,
who
feels
some
little
interest
in
my
welfare
on
that
account
.
’
Reduced
to
this
one
sentence
,
there
was
surely
nothing
in
the
reference
to
her
name
which
implied
that
Agnes
had
permitted
it
,
or
that
she
was
even
aware
of
it
.
After
a
last
struggle
with
herself
,
she
handed
the
written
paper
to
Emily
.
’
Your
husband
must
copy
it
exactly
,
without
altering
anything
,
’
she
stipulated
.
’
On
that
condition
,
I
grant
your
request
.
’
Emily
was
not
only
thankful
—
she
was
really
touched
.
Agnes
hurried
the
little
woman
out
of
the
room
.
’
Don
’
t
give
me
time
to
repent
and
take
it
back
again
,
’
she
said
.
Emily
vanished
.
