“He found out his mistake.”

“How?”

“We met, and he recognised me.”

“When did you meet?”

“It was just before his death, when he gave me that letter and the paper.”

“How was it you came to meet?”

“He wrote that he had some business he wanted to discuss with me.”

“But he thought you were dead?”

“Yes; but he thought my sister—his sister-in-law—was alive.”
