’
You
don
’
t
mean
the
English
maid
who
was
with
Lady
Montbarry
at
Venice
?
’
’
My
dear
!
don
’
t
speak
of
Montbarry
’
s
horrid
widow
by
the
name
which
is
my
name
now
.
Stephen
and
I
have
arranged
to
call
her
by
her
foreign
title
,
before
she
was
married
.
I
am
"
Lady
Montbarry
,
"
and
she
is
"
the
Countess
.
"
In
that
way
there
will
be
no
confusion
.
—
Yes
,
Mrs
.
Rolland
was
in
my
service
before
she
became
the
Countess
’
s
maid
.
She
was
a
perfectly
trustworthy
person
,
with
one
defect
that
obliged
me
to
send
her
away
—
a
sullen
temper
which
led
to
perpetual
complaints
of
her
in
the
servants
’
hall
.
Would
you
like
to
see
her
?
’
Agnes
accepted
the
proposal
,
in
the
faint
hope
of
getting
some
information
for
the
courier
’
s
wife
.
The
complete
defeat
of
every
attempt
to
trace
the
lost
man
had
been
accepted
as
final
by
Mrs
.
Ferrari
.
She
had
deliberately
arrayed
herself
in
widow
’
s
mourning
;
and
was
earning
her
livelihood
in
an
employment
which
the
unwearied
kindness
of
Agnes
had
procured
for
her
in
London
.
The
last
chance
of
penetrating
the
mystery
of
Ferrari
’
s
disappearance
seemed
to
rest
now
on
what
Ferrari
’
s
former
fellow
-
servant
might
be
able
to
tell
.
With
highly
-
wrought
expectations
,
Agnes
followed
her
friend
into
the
room
in
which
Mrs
.
Rolland
was
waiting
.
A
tall
bony
woman
,
in
the
autumn
of
life
,
with
sunken
eyes
and
iron
-
grey
hair
,
rose
stiffly
from
her
chair
,
and
saluted
the
ladies
with
stern
submission
as
they
opened
the
door
.
A
person
of
unblemished
character
,
evidently
—
but
not
without
visible
drawbacks
.
Big
bushy
eyebrows
,
an
awfully
deep
and
solemn
voice
,
a
harsh
unbending
manner
,
a
complete
absence
in
her
figure
of
the
undulating
lines
characteristic
of
the
sex
,
presented
Virtue
in
this
excellent
person
under
its
least
alluring
aspect
.
Strangers
,
on
a
first
introduction
to
her
,
were
accustomed
to
wonder
why
she
was
not
a
man
.
’
Are
you
pretty
well
,
Mrs
.
Rolland
?
’
’
I
am
as
well
as
I
can
expect
to
be
,
my
lady
,
at
my
time
of
life
.
’
’
Is
there
anything
I
can
do
for
you
?
’
’
Your
ladyship
can
do
me
a
great
favour
,
if
you
will
please
speak
to
my
character
while
I
was
in
your
service
.
I
am
offered
a
place
,
to
wait
on
an
invalid
lady
who
has
lately
come
to
live
in
this
neighbourhood
.
