What
does
all
this
matter
to
me
?
Francis
thought
to
himself
.
She
paused
,
evidently
expecting
him
to
say
something
.
So
you
have
come
to
Venice
?
he
said
carelessly
.
Why
?
752
Because
I
couldn
t
help
it
,
she
answered
.
753
Francis
looked
at
her
with
cynical
curiosity
.
That
sounds
odd
,
he
remarked
.
Why
couldn
t
you
help
it
?

Women
are
accustomed
to
act
on
impulse
,
she
explained
.
Suppose
we
say
that
an
impulse
has
directed
my
journey
?
And
yet
,
this
is
the
last
place
in
the
world
that
I
wish
to
find
myself
in
.
Associations
that
I
detest
are
connected
with
it
in
my
mind
.
If
I
had
a
will
of
my
own
,
I
would
never
see
it
again
.
I
hate
Venice
.
As
you
see
,
however
,
I
am
here
.
When
did
you
meet
with
such
an
unreasonable
woman
before
?
Never
,
I
am
sure
!
She
stopped
,
eyed
him
for
a
moment
,
and
suddenly
altered
her
tone
.
When
is
Miss
Agnes
Lockwood
expected
to
be
in
Venice
?
she
asked
.
755
It
was
not
easy
to
throw
Francis
off
his
balance
,
but
that
extraordinary
question
did
it
.
How
the
devil
did
you
know
that
Miss
Lockwood
was
coming
to
Venice
?
he
exclaimed
.
756
She
laughed
a
bitter
mocking
laugh
.
Say
,
I
guessed
it
!
757
Something
in
her
tone
,
or
perhaps
something
in
the
audacious
defiance
of
her
eyes
as
they
rested
on
him
,
roused
the
quick
temper
that
was
in
Francis
Westwick
.
Lady
Montbarry
!
he
began
.

Stop
there
!
she
interposed
.
Your
brother
Stephen
s
wife
calls
herself
Lady
Montbarry
now
.
I
share
my
title
with
no
woman
.
Call
me
by
my
name
before
I
committed
the
fatal
mistake
of
marrying
your
brother
.
Address
me
,
if
you
please
,
as
Countess
Narona
.
759
Countess
Narona
,
Francis
resumed
,
if
your
object
in
claiming
my
acquaintance
is
to
mystify
me
,
you
have
come
to
the
wrong
man
.
Speak
plainly
,
or
permit
me
to
wish
you
good
evening
.
760
If
your
object
is
to
keep
Miss
Lockwood
s
arrival
in
Venice
a
secret
,
she
retorted
,
speak
plainly
,
Mr
.
Westwick
,
on
your
side
,
and
say
so
.
