Am I right in believing that the sooner you get away from Venice the happier you will be ?' 'Right ?' she repeated excitedly.

But you know how I am situated--you heard what Lord Montbarry said at dinner-time ?' 'Suppose he has altered his plans, since dinner-time ?' Henry suggested.
Agnes looked surprised.

'I thought he had received letters from England which obliged him to leave Venice to-morrow,' she said.
'Quite true,' Henry admitted.
