Countess d'Isorella led Irma away, and had to bear with many fits of weeping, and to assent to the force of all the charges of vindictive conspiracy and inveterate malice with which the jealous creature assailed Vittoria's name. The countess then claimed her ear for half-a-minute. "Have you had any news of Countess Anna lately?" Irma had not; she admitted it despondently.
All were waiting impatiently for Carlo's return. When he appeared he informed his mother that the Countess d'Isorella would remain in the house that night, and his mother passed out to her abhorred guest, who, for the time at least, could not be doing further mischief. It was a meeting for the final disposition of things before the outbreak.
She received the letter, eyed: it all over, and held it to a candle. Laura's head was bent in dark meditation. The sudden increase of light aroused her, and she asked, "What is that?" "A letter from Countess Anna to Countess d'Isorella," said the duchess. "Burnt!" Laura screamed. "It's only fair," the duchess remarked. "From her to that woman! It may be priceless. Stop! Let me see what remains.
It reached Vittoria at a critical moment. Two days previously, she and Laura Piaveni had talked with the king. It was an unexpected honour. Countess, d'Isorella conducted them to the palace.
The villa inhabited by Countess d'Isorella was on the water's edge, within clear view of the projecting Villa Ricciardi, in that darkly- wooded region of the lake which leads up to the Italian-Swiss canton. Violetta received here an envoy from Anna of Lenkenstein, direct out of Milan: an English lady, calling herself Mrs. Sedley, and a particular friend of Countess Anna.
Why did not conspirators like these two take advantage of the amnesty? Why were they not in Rome? Their Chief was in Rome; their friends were in Rome. Why were they here? A report, coming from Countess d'Isorella, said that they had quarrelled with their friends, and were living for love alone.
Countess d'Isorella, I have the extreme honour." Wilfrid marvelled to hear this titled and lovely woman speaking almost in tones of humility in reply to such outrageous insolence. She craved a private interview. Irma was temporarily expelled, and then Violetta stooped to ask what the Greek's reason for his behaviour could be. She admitted that it was in his power to ruin her, as far as money went.
Merthyr knew this for a hint against his leaving, as well as against the lady's character. "Let your mistress be assured that I shall on no account be long absent at any time." "Signore, I shall do so," said Giacinta. She brought him word soon after, that Countess d'Isorella was stirring. Merthyr met Violetta on the stairs. "Can it be true?" she accosted him first.
But I knew my Countess d'Isorella could help me, and so I sent for her to confront Irma, and dare to say she knew not Barto's dwelling and why? I will tell you a secret. A long-flattered woman, my friend, she has had, you will think, enough of it; no! she is like avarice. If it is worship of swine, she cannot refuse it.
She must have simulated well," Laura went on talking to herself. "What trickery?" said Vittoria. "He was in love with the woman when he was a lad," Laura replied, and pertinently to Vittoria's feelings. This threw the moist shade across her features. Beppo in Turin and Luigi on the lake were the watch set on Countess d'Isorella; they were useless except to fortify Laura's suspicions.
