There
was
a
pause
.
Then
,
a
supernatural
movement
disturbed
the
rigid
repose
of
the
dead
face
.
962
The
closed
eyelids
opened
slowly
.
The
eyes
revealed
themselves
,
bright
with
the
glassy
film
of
death
and
fixed
their
dreadful
look
on
the
woman
in
the
chair
.
963
Agnes
saw
that
look
;
saw
the
eyelids
of
the
living
woman
open
slowly
like
the
eyelids
of
the
dead
;
saw
her
rise
,
as
if
in
obedience
to
some
silent
command
and
saw
no
more
.

Her
next
conscious
impression
was
of
the
sunlight
pouring
in
at
the
window
;
of
the
friendly
presence
of
Lady
Montbarry
at
the
bedside
;
and
of
the
children
s
wondering
faces
peeping
in
at
the
door
.

You
have
some
influence
over
Agnes
.
Try
what
you
can
do
,
Henry
,
to
make
her
take
a
sensible
view
of
the
matter
.
There
is
really
nothing
to
make
a
fuss
about
.
My
wife
s
maid
knocked
at
her
door
early
in
the
morning
,
with
the
customary
cup
of
tea
.
Getting
no
answer
,
she
went
round
to
the
dressing
-
room
found
the
door
on
that
side
unlocked
and
discovered
Agnes
on
the
bed
in
a
fainting
fit
.
With
my
wife
s
help
,
they
brought
her
to
herself
again
;
and
she
told
the
extraordinary
story
which
I
have
just
repeated
to
you
.
You
must
have
seen
for
yourself
that
she
has
been
over
-
fatigued
,
poor
thing
,
by
our
long
railway
journeys
:
her
nerves
are
out
of
order
and
she
is
just
the
person
to
be
easily
terrified
by
a
dream
.
She
obstinately
refuses
,
however
,
to
accept
this
rational
view
.
Don
t
suppose
that
I
have
been
severe
with
her
!
All
that
a
man
can
do
to
humour
her
I
have
done
.
I
have
written
to
the
Countess
(
in
her
assumed
name
)
offering
to
restore
the
room
to
her
.
She
writes
back
,
positively
declining
to
return
to
it
.
I
have
accordingly
arranged
(
so
as
not
to
have
the
thing
known
in
the
hotel
)
to
occupy
the
room
for
one
or
two
nights
,
and
to
leave
Agnes
to
recover
her
spirits
under
my
wife
s
care
.
Is
there
anything
more
that
I
can
do
?
Whatever
questions
Agnes
has
asked
of
me
I
have
answered
to
the
best
of
my
ability
;
she
knows
all
that
you
told
me
about
Francis
and
the
Countess
last
night
.
But
try
as
I
may
I
can
t
quiet
her
mind
.
I
have
given
up
the
attempt
in
despair
,
and
left
her
in
the
drawing
-
room
.
Go
,
like
a
good
fellow
,
and
try
what
you
can
do
to
compose
her
.

967
In
those
words
,
Lord
Montbarry
stated
the
case
to
his
brother
from
the
rational
point
of
view
.
Henry
made
no
remark
,
he
went
straight
to
the
drawing
-
room
.

He
found
Agnes
walking
rapidly
backwards
and
forwards
,
flushed
and
excited
.
If
you
come
here
to
say
what
your
brother
has
been
saying
to
me
,
she
broke
out
,
before
he
could
speak
,
spare
yourself
the
trouble
.
I
don
t
want
common
sense
I
want
a
true
friend
who
will
believe
in
me
.
969
I
am
that
friend
,
Agnes
,
Henry
answered
quietly
,
and
you
know
it
.
970
You
really
believe
that
I
am
not
deluded
by
a
dream
?
