Against
Lady
Montbarry
’
s
advice
,
he
took
the
opportunity
of
renewing
his
addresses
to
Agnes
.
He
could
hardly
have
chosen
a
more
unpropitious
time
for
pleading
his
cause
with
her
.
The
gaieties
of
Paris
(
quite
incomprehensibly
to
herself
as
well
as
to
everyone
about
her
)
had
a
depressing
effect
on
her
spirits
.
She
had
no
illness
to
complain
of
;
she
shared
willingly
in
the
ever
-
varying
succession
of
amusements
offered
to
strangers
by
the
ingenuity
of
the
liveliest
people
in
the
world
—
but
nothing
roused
her
:
she
remained
persistently
dull
and
weary
through
it
all
.
In
this
frame
of
mind
and
body
,
she
was
in
no
humour
to
receive
Henry
’
s
ill
-
timed
addresses
with
favour
,
or
even
with
patience
:
she
plainly
and
positively
refused
to
listen
to
him
.
’
Why
do
you
remind
me
of
what
I
have
suffered
?
’
she
asked
petulantly
.
’
Don
’
t
you
see
that
it
has
left
its
mark
on
me
for
life
?
’
’
I
thought
I
knew
something
of
women
by
this
time
,
’
Henry
said
,
appealing
privately
to
Lady
Montbarry
for
consolation
.
’
But
Agnes
completely
puzzles
me
.
It
is
a
year
since
Montbarry
’
s
death
;
and
she
remains
as
devoted
to
his
memory
as
if
he
had
died
faithful
to
her
—
she
still
feels
the
loss
of
him
,
as
none
of
us
feel
it
!
’
’
She
is
the
truest
woman
that
ever
breathed
the
breath
of
life
,
’
Lady
Montbarry
answered
.
’
Remember
that
,
and
you
will
understand
her
.
Can
such
a
woman
as
Agnes
give
her
love
or
refuse
it
,
according
to
circumstances
?
Because
the
man
was
unworthy
of
her
,
was
he
less
the
man
of
her
choice
?
The
truest
and
best
friend
to
him
(
little
as
he
deserved
it
)
in
his
lifetime
,
she
naturally
remains
the
truest
and
best
friend
to
his
memory
now
.
If
you
really
love
her
,
wait
;
and
trust
to
your
two
best
friends
—
to
time
and
to
me
.
There
is
my
advice
;
let
your
own
experience
decide
whether
it
is
not
the
best
advice
that
I
can
offer
.
Resume
your
journey
to
Venice
to
-
morrow
;
and
when
you
take
leave
of
Agnes
,
speak
to
her
as
cordially
as
if
nothing
had
happened
.
’
Henry
wisely
followed
this
advice
.
Thoroughly
understanding
him
,
Agnes
made
the
leave
-
taking
friendly
and
pleasant
on
her
side
.
When
he
stopped
at
the
door
for
a
last
look
at
her
,
she
hurriedly
turned
her
head
so
that
her
face
was
hidden
from
him
.
Was
that
a
good
sign
?
Lady
Montbarry
,
accompanying
Henry
down
the
stairs
,
said
,
’
Yes
,
decidedly
!
Write
when
you
get
to
Venice
.
We
shall
wait
here
to
receive
letters
from
Arthur
and
his
wife
,
and
we
shall
time
our
departure
for
Italy
accordingly
.
’
A
week
passed
,
and
no
letter
came
from
Henry
.
Some
days
later
,
a
telegram
was
received
from
him
.
It
was
despatched
from
Milan
,
instead
of
from
Venice
;
and
it
brought
this
strange
message
:
—
’
I
have
left
the
hotel
.
Will
return
on
the
arrival
of
Arthur
and
his
wife
.
Address
,
meanwhile
,
Albergo
Reale
,
Milan
’
Preferring
Venice
before
all
other
cities
of
Europe
,
and
having
arranged
to
remain
there
until
the
family
meeting
took
place
,
what
unexpected
event
had
led
Henry
to
alter
his
plans
?
and
why
did
he
state
the
bare
fact
,
without
adding
a
word
of
explanation
?
Let
the
narrative
follow
him
—
and
find
the
answer
to
those
questions
at
Venice
.
The
Palace
Hotel
,
appealing
for
encouragement
mainly
to
English
and
American
travellers
,
celebrated
the
opening
of
its
doors
,
as
a
matter
of
course
,
by
the
giving
of
a
grand
banquet
,
and
the
delivery
of
a
long
succession
of
speeches
.
Delayed
on
his
journey
,
Henry
Westwick
only
reached
Venice
in
time
to
join
the
guests
over
their
coffee
and
cigars
.
Observing
the
splendour
of
the
reception
rooms
,
and
taking
note
especially
of
the
artful
mixture
of
comfort
and
luxury
in
the
bedchambers
,
he
began
to
share
the
old
nurse
’
s
view
of
the
future
,
and
to
contemplate
seriously
the
coming
dividend
of
ten
per
cent
.
The
hotel
was
beginning
well
,
at
all
events
.
So
much
interest
in
the
enterprise
had
been
aroused
,
at
home
and
abroad
,
by
profuse
advertising
,
that
the
whole
accommodation
of
the
building
had
been
secured
by
travellers
of
all
nations
for
the
opening
night
.
Henry
only
obtained
one
of
the
small
rooms
on
the
upper
floor
,
by
a
lucky
accident
—
the
absence
of
the
gentleman
who
had
written
to
engage
it
.
He
was
quite
satisfied
,
and
was
on
his
way
to
bed
,
when
another
accident
altered
his
prospects
for
the
night
,
and
moved
him
into
another
and
a
better
room
.
