She started as if she had seen a ghost. I calmed her, and followed her into the kitchen, where I explained in a few words that I should stay for the night, and that John must fetch my trunk from the turnpike house.
"There is only one bathroom in this house, and it is a day's journey to find it," said Helena, re-entering her own bedroom, where she had left Mrs. Friend in a dimity-covered arm-chair by the window, while she reconnoitred. "Also, the water is only a point or two above freezing and as I like boiling " She threw herself down on the floor by Mrs. Friend's side.
Flora, forgetting the danger of re-entering the walls of the terrible institution, exclaimed, "Follow me it may not be too late I will show you the cell " And she once more passed through the aperture, closely followed by Stephano, Piero, Lomellino, and a dozen other banditti.

"The doctor begs madame and his Eminence to come at once, at once," said she.
