I told you that before.

There weren't no necessity for her to meet him in Paris." The doctor sprang from his chair and with eyes biasing and fists tightly clenched, stood over the captain.
"And you dare to sit there and tell me that Miss Jane Cobden is that child's mother ?" The captain struggled to his feet, his open hands held up to the doctor as if to ward off a blow.
"Miss Jane! No, by God! No! Are you crazy?
Sit down, sit down, I tell ye!" "Who, then?
Speak!" "Lucy! That's what I drove Bart out for.

Mort Cobden's daughter--Mort, mind ye, that was a brother to me since I was a boy! Jane that that child's mother! Yes, all the mother poor Archie's got! Ask Miss Jane, she'll tell ye.

Tell ye how she sits and eats her heart out to save her sister that's too scared to come home.
