’
Lucy
’
s
governess
is
not
the
only
lucky
person
who
has
had
money
left
her
,
’
Henry
answered
.
’
Is
your
old
nurse
in
the
house
?
’
’
You
don
’
t
mean
to
say
that
nurse
has
got
a
legacy
?
’
’
She
has
got
a
hundred
pounds
.
Send
for
her
,
Agnes
,
while
I
show
you
the
letter
.
’
He
took
a
handful
of
letters
from
his
pocket
,
and
looked
through
them
,
while
Agnes
rang
the
bell
.
Returning
to
him
,
she
noticed
a
printed
letter
among
the
rest
,
which
lay
open
on
the
table
.
It
was
a
’
prospectus
,
’
and
the
title
of
it
was
’
Palace
Hotel
Company
of
Venice
(
Limited
)
.
’
The
two
words
,
’
Palace
’
and
’
Venice
,
’
instantly
recalled
her
mind
to
the
unwelcome
visit
of
Lady
Montbarry
.
’
What
is
that
?
’
she
asked
,
pointing
to
the
title
.
Henry
suspended
his
search
,
and
glanced
at
the
prospectus
.
’
A
really
promising
speculation
,
’
he
said
.
’
Large
hotels
always
pay
well
,
if
they
are
well
managed
.
I
know
the
man
who
is
appointed
to
be
manager
of
this
hotel
when
it
is
opened
to
the
public
;
and
I
have
such
entire
confidence
in
him
that
I
have
become
one
of
the
shareholders
of
the
Company
.
’
The
reply
did
not
appear
to
satisfy
Agnes
.
’
Why
is
the
hotel
called
the
"
Palace
Hotel
"
?
’
she
inquired
.
Henry
looked
at
her
,
and
at
once
penetrated
her
motive
for
asking
the
question
.
’
Yes
,
’
he
said
,
’
it
is
the
palace
that
Montbarry
hired
at
Venice
;
and
it
has
been
purchased
by
the
Company
to
be
changed
into
an
hotel
.
’
Agnes
turned
away
in
silence
,
and
took
a
chair
at
the
farther
end
of
the
room
.
Henry
had
disappointed
her
.
His
income
as
a
younger
son
stood
in
need
,
as
she
well
knew
,
of
all
the
additions
that
he
could
make
to
it
by
successful
speculation
.
But
she
was
unreasonable
enough
,
nevertheless
,
to
disapprove
of
his
attempting
to
make
money
already
out
of
the
house
in
which
his
brother
had
died
.
Incapable
of
understanding
this
purely
sentimental
view
of
a
plain
matter
of
business
,
Henry
returned
to
his
papers
,
in
some
perplexity
at
the
sudden
change
in
the
manner
of
Agnes
towards
him
.
Just
as
he
found
the
letter
of
which
he
was
in
search
,
the
nurse
made
her
appearance
.
He
glanced
at
Agnes
,
expecting
that
she
would
speak
first
.
She
never
even
looked
up
when
the
nurse
came
in
.
It
was
left
to
Henry
to
tell
the
old
woman
why
the
bell
had
summoned
her
to
the
drawing
-
room
.
’
Well
,
nurse
,
’
he
said
,
’
you
have
had
a
windfall
of
luck
.
You
have
had
a
legacy
left
you
of
a
hundred
pounds
.
