The Mysteries of Udolpho Volume 2, Chapter 12 Summary

  • Annette has big news for Em about a new guest at the castle. That would be Orsino, otherwise known as the outlaw who killed a guy in Venice.
  • Yup. Montoni is harboring a fugitive.
  • But what Em really wants to know is where that strange music is coming from. She asks Annette about musicians in the castle, but gets nada.
  • Annette does have a little tidbit for Em: Barnardine, the castle porter, says he can get Em to see her aunt in the east turret.
  • There's only one catch. Em has to meet Barnardine late at night, totally alone, and he'll take her to see Madame Montoni. Danger, Will Robinson.
