CHAPTER XXIII
15/16

She had just returned from Germany, where she had left her daughter, Marion, in school, and Frank asked her of the country, and if she had visited Wiesbaden, and had there met or heard of anyone by the name of Marguerite Heinrich.
Mrs.Raymond had spent some months in Wiesbaden, for it was there her daughter was at school, and she was very enthusiastic in her praises of the beautiful town.

But she had never seen or heard of Marguerite Heinrich, or of anyone by the name of Heinrich.

'Who in the world is she--and where did you know her ?' 'I never did know her.
