'Did she say nothing about what she saw or heard, on that dreadful
night in my room?'

'Nothing. We only know that her mind never recovered the terror of it.'

Agnes was not quite satisfied. The subject troubled her. Even her own
brief intercourse with her miserable rival of other days suggested
questions that perplexed her. She remembered the Countess's
prediction. 'You have to bring me to the day of discovery, and to the
punishment that is my doom.' Had the prediction simply faded, like
other mortal prophecies?--or had it been fulfilled on the terrible
night when she had seen the apparition, and when she had innocently
tempted the Countess to watch her in her room?

Let it, however, be recorded, among the other virtues of Mrs. Henry
Westwick, that she never again attempted to persuade her husband into
betraying his secrets. Other men's wives, hearing of this
extraordinary conduct (and being trained in the modern school of morals
and manners), naturally regarded her with compassionate contempt. They
spoke of Agnes, from that time forth, as 'rather an old-fashioned
person.'

Is that all?

That is all.

Is there no explanation of the mystery of The Haunted Hotel?

Ask yourself if there is any explanation of the mystery of your own
life and death.--Farewell.
