All I know is that she is dead.

When the child died, I sent her money, and told her to bury it decently." "Where did she live ?" "I never knew precisely.

Somewhere down town." "Who brought her here?
who recommended her ?" said Edith, pushing her inquiries rapidly.
"I have forgotten that also," replied Mrs.Dinneford, maintaining her coldness of manner.
"My nurse, I presume," said Edith.

"I have a faint recollection of her--a dark little woman with black eyes whom I had never seen before.
What was her name ?" "Bodine," answered Mrs.Dinneford, without a moment's hesitation.
"Where does she live ?" "She went to Havana with a Cuban lady several months ago." "Do you know the lady's name ?" "It was Casteline, I think." Edith questioned no further.

The mother and daughter were still sitting together, both deeply absorbed in thought, when a servant opened the door and said to Mrs.Dinneford, "A lady wishes to see you." "Didn't she give you her card ?" "No ma'am." "Nor send up her name ?" "No, ma'am." "Go down and ask her name." The servant left the room.
