Winterbourne listened to him:  he stood staring at the raw protuberance

among the April daisies。  When he turned away again; Mr。 Giovanelli;

with his light; slow step; had retired。



Winterbourne almost immediately left Rome; but the following

summer he again met his aunt; Mrs。 Costello at Vevey。

Mrs。 Costello was fond of Vevey。  In the interval Winterbourne

had often thought of Daisy Miller and her mystifying manners。

One day he spoke of her to his auntsaid it was on his conscience

that he had done her injustice。



〃I am sure I don't know;〃 said Mrs。 Costello。  〃How did your

injustice affect her?〃



〃She sent me a message before her death which I didn't

understand at the time; but I have understood it since。

She would have appreciated one's esteem。〃



〃Is that a modest way;〃 asked Mrs。 Costello; 〃of saying that she would

have reciprocated one's affection?〃



Winterbourne offered no answer to this question; but he presently said;

〃You were right in that remark that you made last summer。  I was booked

to make a mistake。  I have lived too long in foreign parts。〃



Nevertheless; he went back to live at Geneva; whence there continue

to come the most contradictory accounts of his motives of sojourn:

a report that he is 〃studying〃 hardan intimation that he is much

interested in a very clever foreign lady。
