The Portuguese Escape (46 page)

Tomorrow!—tomorrow would see her back at beloved Gralheira, sunk in the country life of Portugal, with its ageless calm and beauty. As she turned away from the window there came a knock on the door, and Francisco the footman entered.

, the Senhora Condessa desires to know if the
Menina
is coming down to say the Rosary?'

‘
Sim
, Francisco—I come.' And twining her black lace mantilla round her golden head, Julia Probyn went down to the Chapel to join her hostess.
