Emily paused, and then said she would be on the terrace, an hour after sun-set; 'and tell Barnardine, she added, 'to be punctual to the time; for that I, also, may be observed by Signor Montoni. Where is the Signor? I would speak with him. 'He is in the cedar chamber, ma'am, counselling with the other Signors.
When Jon rushed away with the letter in his hand, he ran along the terrace and round the corner of the house, in fear and confusion. Leaning against the creepered wall he tore open the letter. It was long very long! This added to his fear, and he began reading. When he came to the words: "It was Fleur's father that she married," everything seemed to spin before him.
