Dear Aunt Pattie! lie still. By the way has she anyone with her? 'Only her maid the one person who can manage her at all. That poor lady, you know, who tried to be companion, gave it up some time ago. Where shall we put her? 'There are the two east rooms. Shall I tell Andreina to get them ready? Aunt Pattie acquiesced, with a sound rather like a groan.
All that the household knew was that Miss Alice Manisty had escaped from her room in the night, after pinioning Dalgetty's arms and throwing a chloroformed handkerchief over her face. Miss Foster, it seemed, had been aroused and alarmed, and Mr. Manisty coming to the rescue had overpowered his sister by the help of the stout cameriera, Andreina. This was all that was certainly known.
Lucy fancied she caught her own name, and drew back indignant with herself for listening. Then a sound of wheels the opening of the iron gate the driving up of another carriage some shouting between Alfredo and Andreina and it was all over. The villa was at peace again. Lucy drew herself to her full height, in a fierce rigidity of self-contempt.
While Manisty and the housemaid Andreina conveyed Alice Manisty, now in a state of helpless exhaustion, to her room, and secured her there, Alfredo ran for the Marinata doctor. Eleanor and Aunt Pattie forced brandy through the maid's teeth, and did what they could to bring back warmth and circulation.
