Daisy Miller

Last paragraph in Daisy Miller

Please, can anyone explain the last paragraph in Daisy Miller? What is the author trying to imply?

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” hard—an intimation that he is much interested in a very clever foreign lady.

Regards

Katie

It means tgat Winterbourne does not realize his mistake until Mrs. Miller relays Daisy's message to him and Giovanelli speaks to him at the funeral. And yet, in this way, Daisy's innocence triumphs. The lasting message of the novella is Daisy's innocence and the cruelty of the society which condemned her to death.
