’
I
told
you
I
should
offend
you
!
’
said
Mr
.
Troy
.
Agnes
interposed
once
more
—
in
the
interests
of
peace
.
She
took
the
offended
wife
’
s
hand
;
she
appealed
to
the
lawyer
to
reconsider
that
side
of
his
theory
which
reflected
harshly
on
Ferrari
.
While
she
was
still
speaking
,
the
servant
interrupted
her
by
entering
the
room
with
a
visiting
-
card
.
It
was
the
card
of
Henry
Westwick
;
and
there
was
an
ominous
request
written
on
it
in
pencil
.
’
I
bring
bad
news
.
Let
me
see
you
for
a
minute
downstairs
.
’
Agnes
immediately
left
the
room
.
Alone
with
Mrs
.
Ferrari
,
Mr
.
Troy
permitted
his
natural
kindness
of
heart
to
show
itself
on
the
surface
at
last
.
He
tried
to
make
his
peace
with
the
courier
’
s
wife
.
’
You
have
every
claim
,
my
good
soul
,
to
resent
a
reflection
cast
upon
your
husband
,
’
he
began
.
’
I
may
even
say
that
I
respect
you
for
speaking
so
warmly
in
his
defence
.
At
the
same
time
,
remember
,
that
I
am
bound
,
in
such
a
serious
matter
as
this
,
to
tell
you
what
is
really
in
my
mind
.
I
can
have
no
intention
of
offending
you
,
seeing
that
I
am
a
total
stranger
to
you
and
to
Mr
.
Ferrari
.
A
thousand
pounds
is
a
large
sum
of
money
;
and
a
poor
man
may
excusably
be
tempted
by
it
to
do
nothing
worse
than
to
keep
out
of
the
way
for
a
while
.
My
only
interest
,
acting
on
your
behalf
,
is
to
get
at
the
truth
.
If
you
will
give
me
time
,
I
see
no
reason
to
despair
of
finding
your
husband
yet
.
’
Ferrari
’
s
wife
listened
,
without
being
convinced
:
her
narrow
little
mind
,
filled
to
its
extreme
capacity
by
her
unfavourable
opinion
of
Mr
.
Troy
,
had
no
room
left
for
the
process
of
correcting
its
first
impression
.
’
I
am
much
obliged
to
you
,
sir
,
’
was
all
she
said
.
Her
eyes
were
more
communicative
—
her
eyes
added
,
in
their
language
,
’
You
may
say
what
you
please
;
I
will
never
forgive
you
to
my
dying
day
.
’
Mr
.
Troy
gave
it
up
.
He
composedly
wheeled
his
chair
around
,
put
his
hands
in
his
pockets
,
and
looked
out
of
window
.
After
an
interval
of
silence
,
the
drawing
-
room
door
was
opened
.
Mr
.
Troy
wheeled
round
again
briskly
to
the
table
,
expecting
to
see
Agnes
.
To
his
surprise
there
appeared
,
in
her
place
,
a
perfect
stranger
to
him
—
a
gentleman
,
in
the
prime
of
life
,
with
a
marked
expression
of
pain
and
embarrassment
on
his
handsome
face
.
He
looked
at
Mr
.
Troy
,
and
bowed
gravely
.
’
I
am
so
unfortunate
as
to
have
brought
news
to
Miss
Agnes
Lockwood
which
has
greatly
distressed
her
,
’
he
said
.
’
She
has
retired
to
her
room
.
I
am
requested
to
make
her
excuses
,
and
to
speak
to
you
in
her
place
.
