She had been to your friend, Mr.
Walker, and came to me afterwards for a minute.

Mr.Walker has got something to do with it, though mamma says she thinks he is quite friendly to papa.

I wonder whether you could find out, through Mr.Walker, what he thinks about it.

Of course, mamma knows that papa has done nothing wrong; but she says that the whole thing is most mysterious, and that she does not know how to account for the money.

Papa, you know, is not like other people.
