Dieppe stood watching him as he went, making not direct for the Sasellano road, but shaping a course straight up the hill, walking as though he hardly knew where he was going. So he passed out of the Captain's sight and out of the list of the Countess of Fieramondi's creditors. A little smile dwelt for a moment on Dieppe's face. "I myself am very nearly a rascal sometimes," said he. Crack! crack!
It by no means followed, if only the Captain could have remembered that there were other people in the world besides himself and one or two others even in the Count of Fieramondi's house. "I 'll get at her if I can; but if she 's obstinate, I 'll go to the Count in the last resort I 'll go to the Count, for I mean to have the money."
"From the lady you carried ?" "To the Count of Fieramondi's." "Ah, you took her there?" The Captain frowned heavily. "Yes, and left her there. But it's not from her; it's from another lady whom I had n't seen before. She met me just as I was returning from the Count's, and bade me look out for you by the Cross " "Yes, yes?" cried Dieppe, eagerly. "Give me the message."
And not less ignorant of these possible incidents was a lady who this same evening stood in the courtyard of the only inn of the little town of Sasellano, where the railway ended, and whence the traveller to the Count of Fieramondi's Castle must take a carriage and post-horses. The lady demanded horses, protested, raged; most urgent business called her to pursue her journey, she said.
