This interview began with lively recriminations, and was resulting in nothing for Anna refused to be shaken by his statement that the Countess d'Isorella had betrayed her, and perceived that she was listening to suspicions only when, to give his accusation force, Wilfrid said that Brescia had surrendered and that Count Ammiani had escaped. "And I thank God for it!"
In some way or other Countess d'Isorella got possession of him; she has managed to subdue him. A sword-cut he received once in Verona has undoubtedly affected his brain, or caused it to be affected under strong excitement. He is at her villa, and she says perhaps with some truth that Carlo would in several ways lose his influence by his immediate marriage with you.
The Countess Anna of Lenkenstein offered, on her word of honour as a noblewoman, to make over the quarter of her estate and patrimony to the Countess d'Isorella, if the latter should succeed in thwarting something. Forced to speak plainly, Adela confessed she thought she knew the nature of that something. To preclude its being named, Violetta then diverged from the subject.
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.
Count Karl had been struck to earth by Barto Rizzo. "Not with his boasted neatness, I imagine," Leone said. In fact, the dagger had grazed an ivory portrait of a fair Italian head wreathed with violets in Count Karl's breast. Vittoria recognized the features of Violetta d'Isorella as the original of the portrait. They arrived at Roveredo late in the evening.
"Do you suspect the unhappy king?" Vittoria interposed. "Grasp your colours tight," said Laura, nodding sarcastic approbation of such fidelity, and smiling slightly. "There has been no mention of the king. Countess d'Isorella is a spy and a tool of the Jesuits, taking pay from all parties Austria as well, I would swear. Their object is to paralyze the march on Rome, and she has won Carlo for them.
Violetta d'Isorella received him with a gracious lifting of her fingers to his lips; congratulating him on his escape, and on the good fortune of the day. She laughed at the Lenkensteins and the singular Englishman; sat down to a little supper-tray, and pouted humorously as she asked him to feed on confects and wine; the huge appetites of the insurgents had devoured all her meat and bread.
As he quitted the room, the duchess entered, and went up to Anna. "My good soul," she said, "you have, I trust, listened to Major Weisspriess. Oh, Anna! you wanted revenge. Now take it, as becomes a high-born woman; and let your enemy come to your feet, and don't spurn her when she is there. Must I inform you that I have been to Countess d'Isorella myself with a man who can compel her to speak?
Jacob Baumwalder Feckelwitz went straightway under a gas-lamp, where he read the address of the letter to Countess d'Isorella. He doubted; he had a half-desire to tear the letter open. But a rumour of the attack upon Irma had spread among the domestics and Jacob prudently went up to his mistress. The duchess was sitting with Laura.
"You know you are betrayed," Merthyr began. "Not exactly that," said Carlo, humming carelessly. "Positively and absolutely. The Countess d'Isorella has sold your secrets." "I commend her to the profit she has made by it." "Do you play with your life?" Carlo was about to answer in the tone he had assumed for the interview. He checked the laugh on his lips.
