There is a rumour that Mrs.Weston, too, is dead.

A lady who used to know them tells me that she is certain she heard of her death--in England, she thinks, but upon being questioned was quite at sea as to where or when or even as to the original source of her information.

She remembers 'hearing it' and that's all.

Then I sought for the aunts, the maiden ladies whom Molly visited in California.

They too are gone, the older died during the time I lay ill in the hospital.
The younger one was not quite bright, I believe, and was taken away to live with some relatives in the East.
