"But you saw her before?"
"Yes, I saw her often."
"And the child?"
"Yes; the child was with me a good deal."
"Yates, was my child happy in that strange land?"
"How can I answer that, my lady?"
"Did you see Hope there?"
"Once, only once, and that for a moment."
"And you can tell me no particulars. You have no information to give me with regard to the woman who is Lord Hope's wife?"
"Of her I know but little. Remember, my lady, I am but a servant."
