'And besides said Manisty. He puffed away steadily, with his gaze on the mountains. 'I wait, said the Contessa. 'Your Italy is a witch, he said, with a sudden lifting of eyes and voice, 'and there are too many people that love her! Lucy bent a little lower over her work. Presently the Contessa went away. Eleanor lay with eyes closed and hands crossed, very white and still.
Eleanor Burgoyne received him, made him sit by her, and took charge of him till Manisty should appear. But he seemed to be ill at ease with ladies. He buried his hands in the sleeves of his soutane, and would answer little more than Yes and No.
'That, I dare say, you'll admit. 'Of course I shall, she said, with a lip that smiled unsteadily. 'I know it'll be invaluable. Please, Mr. Manisty, let me pass. I must get Eleanor her breakfast. But he still stood there, barring the way. 'Then, Miss Foster, admit something else! that I am not the mere intruder the mere burden that you took me for.
'She worked too hard, said Manisty gravely. 'It is a good thing the pressure has been taken off. Have you found out yet, Miss Foster, what a remarkable woman my cousin is? He turned to her with a sharp look of inquiry. 'I admire her all day long, cried Lucy, warmly. 'That's right, said Manisty slowly 'that's right. Do you know her history? 'Mr. Brooklyn told me
That was the first impression. Then she was apparently in Manisty's charge. Manisty sat with her, strolled with her, read to her from morning till night. Never had their relations been more intimate, more affectionate. That was the second impression.

After ten minutes, she remembered her duties with a start, and hastily crossing the glass passage, she returned to her post. All was just as she had left it. She listened at Miss Alice's door. Not a sound was to be heard; and she resumed her sewing. Meanwhile Manisty and Eleanor were busy with Father Benecke.
Burgoyne cares about it so much? 'But she worked so hard for it! cried Lucy, indignant with something in his manner, though she could not have defined what. Her mind, indeed, was full of vague and generous misgivings on the subject of Mrs. Burgoyne. First she had been angry with Mr. Manisty for what had seemed to her neglect and ingratitude. Now she was somehow dissatisfied with herself too.
Nevertheless, from the whole wrestle two facts emerged: the pleasure which these very dissimilar men took in each other's society; and that strange ultimate pliancy of Manisty which lay hidden somewhere under all the surge and froth of his vivacious rhetoric. Both were equally surprising to Lucy Foster. How had Manisty ever attached himself to Vanbrugh Neal?
