A short contest ensued between the parties, in which that of Montoni, however, were presently victors, and the horsemen, perceiving that numbers were against them, and being, perhaps, not very warmly interested in the affair they had undertaken, galloped off, while Barnardine had run far enough to be lost in the darkness, and Emily was led back into the castle.
But Emily did not like to expose herself to the discretion of these men, at such an hour; and, impatient to withdraw from the situation, she stepped hastily on in search of Barnardine. He was not yet come. She leaned pensively on the wall of the rampart, and waited for him.
Having reached a landing-place, 'You may wait here, lady, said he, applying a key to the door of a chamber, 'while I go up, and tell the Signora you are coming. 'That ceremony is unnecessary, replied Emily, 'my aunt will rejoice to see me. 'I am not so sure of that, said Barnardine, pointing to the room he had opened: 'Come in here, lady, while I step up.
'Annette told us in the hall how unhappy you was about Signora Montoni, and how much you wished to know what was become of her. 'Most true, said Emily eagerly, 'and you can inform me. I conjure you tell me the worst, without hesitation. She rested her trembling arm upon the wall. 'I can tell you, said Barnardine, and paused. Emily had no power to enforce her entreaties.
Emily had just strength enough to bid him stay, and then to call Annette, on whose arm she leaned, and they walked slowly up the rampart, till they heard steps behind them. It was Barnardine again. 'Send away the girl, said he, 'and I will tell you more. 'She must not go, said Emily; 'what you have to say, she may hear. 'May she so, lady? said he.
When Emily expressed apprehensions of meeting Montoni, or some of his guests, 'O, there is no fear of that, ma'amselle, said Annette, 'they are all set in to feasting yet, and that Barnardine knows.
