To be perfectly satisfactory, indeed, the note required a commentary. He called that evening upon Roderick, and found one in the information offered him at the door, by the old serving-woman the startling information that the signorino had gone to Naples. About a month later, Rowland addressed to his cousin Cecilia a letter of which the following is a portion:
When the serving-woman fled, her mistress rushed feverishly to the dressing-table, opened two little toilet jars, and with a brush painted her face rose-color. Toward evening, feeling continual pain in her joints and fear in her heart, which was worse than pain, she commanded to call a physician.
Take away this serving-woman Krishna into the inner apartments. And thereupon Dussasana began to drag before all the spectators the helpless and modest Draupadi, trembling and crying piteously unto the Pandavas her lords. "Draupadi said, 'Wait a little, thou worst of men, thou wicked-minded Dussasana. I have an act to perform a high duty that hath not been performed by me yet.
The musician, who was fully informed of the latter's errand, pressed his hand warmly, and looked at him, evidently expecting news of Ortensia. 'The lady and her serving-woman are well, sir, Gambardella said at once, 'and I trust that to-morrow may end your difficulties happily. 'I hope so indeed, Stradella answered.
"And they wanted to give me money, but I would not take it, and they had been trying to find a laundress for their finer linen their old serving-woman was ill. They could find one for the heavier things, but they are very particular, and I was sure I could manage, and so I begged them to let me have the work, and they did, and overpaid me, I fear.
The table was long, and amply spread with fine glass and silver; nothing was antique, everything was in the old-fashioned tasteless style of a former generation, but the value of solid silver was not small. The homely serving-woman in her peasant-like dress stood aside, submissive, as it seemed, but ignorant of how to behave at so large a dinner.

Peter took his cigar out of his mouth, and turned interrogatively towards the lawyer. 'I don't suppose she was able to tell you anything? he said, with a sharp note of interest in his voice. 'She was able to tell me nothing, said Mr. Semple, 'except a woman's impression of a conversation she had with a Spanish serving-woman. 'I should like to hear all she had to say, said Peter briefly.
He was hastening upstairs to tell this to Stradella when he was stopped by the host himself, who informed him that Stradella was imprisoned in the castle, and that the lady and her serving-woman had just gone away on foot. 'You had better melt away yourself, the innkeeper concluded in a confidential tone, 'unless you wish to be clapped into prison too.
"No, I think the pink one," I heard her say, "and please the bath, Threlka, just a trifle more warm." She spoke in French, her ancient serving-woman, as I took it, not understanding the English language. They both spoke also in a tongue I did not know. I heard the rattling of toilet articles, certain sighs of content, faint splashings beyond. I could not escape from all this.
