Entering
the
dressing
-
room
,
she
listened
at
the
door
,
until
the
silence
outside
informed
her
that
the
corridor
was
empty
.
Upon
this
,
she
unlocked
the
door
,
and
,
passing
out
,
closed
it
again
softly
;
leaving
it
to
all
appearance
(
when
viewed
on
the
inner
side
)
as
carefully
secured
as
Agnes
had
seen
it
when
she
tried
the
key
in
the
lock
with
her
own
hand
.
While
the
Montbarrys
were
still
at
dinner
,
Henry
Westwick
joined
them
,
arriving
from
Milan
.
When
he
entered
the
room
,
and
again
when
he
advanced
to
shake
hands
with
her
,
Agnes
was
conscious
of
a
latent
feeling
which
secretly
reciprocated
Henry
’
s
unconcealed
pleasure
on
meeting
her
again
.
For
a
moment
only
,
she
returned
his
look
;
and
in
that
moment
her
own
observation
told
her
that
she
had
silently
encouraged
him
to
hope
.
She
saw
it
in
the
sudden
glow
of
happiness
which
overspread
his
face
;
and
she
confusedly
took
refuge
in
the
usual
conventional
inquiries
relating
to
the
relatives
whom
he
had
left
at
Milan
.
Taking
his
place
at
the
table
,
Henry
gave
a
most
amusing
account
of
the
position
of
his
brother
Francis
between
the
mercenary
opera
-
dancer
on
one
side
,
and
the
unscrupulous
manager
of
the
French
theatre
on
the
other
.
Matters
had
proceeded
to
such
extremities
,
that
the
law
had
been
called
on
to
interfere
,
and
had
decided
the
dispute
in
favour
of
Francis
.
On
winning
the
victory
the
English
manager
had
at
once
left
Milan
,
recalled
to
London
by
the
affairs
of
his
theatre
.
He
was
accompanied
on
the
journey
back
,
as
he
had
been
accompanied
on
the
journey
out
,
by
his
sister
.
Resolved
,
after
passing
two
nights
of
terror
in
the
Venetian
hotel
,
never
to
enter
it
again
,
Mrs
.
Norbury
asked
to
be
excused
from
appearing
at
the
family
festival
,
on
the
ground
of
ill
-
health
.
At
her
age
,
travelling
fatigued
her
,
and
she
was
glad
to
take
advantage
of
her
brother
’
s
escort
to
return
to
England
.
While
the
talk
at
the
dinner
-
table
flowed
easily
onward
,
the
evening
-
time
advanced
to
night
—
and
it
became
necessary
to
think
of
sending
the
children
to
bed
.
As
Agnes
rose
to
leave
the
room
,
accompanied
by
the
eldest
girl
,
she
observed
with
surprise
that
Henry
’
s
manner
suddenly
changed
.
He
looked
serious
and
pre
-
occupied
;
and
when
his
niece
wished
him
good
night
,
he
abruptly
said
to
her
,
’
Marian
,
I
want
to
know
what
part
of
the
hotel
you
sleep
in
?
’
Marian
,
puzzled
by
the
question
,
answered
that
she
was
going
to
sleep
,
as
usual
,
with
’
Aunt
Agnes
.
’
Not
satisfied
with
that
reply
,
Henry
next
inquired
whether
the
bedroom
was
near
the
rooms
occupied
by
the
other
members
of
the
travelling
party
.
Answering
for
the
child
,
and
wondering
what
Henry
’
s
object
could
possibly
be
,
Agnes
mentioned
the
polite
sacrifice
made
to
her
convenience
by
Mrs
.
James
.
’
Thanks
to
that
lady
’
s
kindness
,
’
she
said
,
’
Marian
and
I
are
only
on
the
other
side
of
the
drawing
-
room
.
’
Henry
made
no
remark
;
he
looked
incomprehensibly
discontented
as
he
opened
the
door
for
Agnes
and
her
companion
to
pass
out
.
After
wishing
them
good
night
,
he
waited
in
the
corridor
until
he
saw
them
enter
the
fatal
corner
-
room
—
and
then
he
called
abruptly
to
his
brother
,
’
Come
out
,
Stephen
,
and
let
us
smoke
!
’
As
soon
as
the
two
brothers
were
at
liberty
to
speak
together
privately
,
Henry
explained
the
motive
which
had
led
to
his
strange
inquiries
about
the
bedrooms
.
Francis
had
informed
him
of
the
meeting
with
the
Countess
at
Venice
,
and
of
all
that
had
followed
it
;
and
Henry
now
carefully
repeated
the
narrative
to
his
brother
in
all
its
details
.
’
I
am
not
satisfied
,
’
he
added
,
’
about
that
woman
’
s
purpose
in
giving
up
her
room
.
Without
alarming
the
ladies
by
telling
them
what
I
have
just
told
you
,
can
you
not
warn
Agnes
to
be
careful
in
securing
her
door
?
’
Lord
Montbarry
replied
,
that
the
warning
had
been
already
given
by
his
wife
,
and
that
Agnes
might
be
trusted
to
take
good
care
of
herself
and
her
little
bed
-
fellow
.
For
the
rest
,
he
looked
upon
the
story
of
the
Countess
and
her
superstitions
as
a
piece
of
theatrical
exaggeration
,
amusing
enough
in
itself
,
but
unworthy
of
a
moment
’
s
serious
attention
.
