I Must See the Countess

Agnes spoke to Henry of the baron as if he were still a living man. When frances saw her she declared that the baron was dead, which is the truth. The sooner you see her, the better you remember how strangely she talked of your influence over her when she forced her way into your room in london. You have heard of what i saw last night, she said faintly. Don't speak of it. My mind is full of horrid questions about it. In whose likeness did it appear? Was it in the likeness of ferrari? Or was it she stopped shuddering. I must see the countess. Whether my courage fails me or not,
