"Had she agreed with Miss Hildreth's reasons?"
"Not altogether."
"Yet she assisted her to carry them out. Why?"
"She would rather not say."
"Had those reasons anything to do with Mr. Tremain?"
Mrs. Newbold was silent, and, with a snort and a smile, Mr. Munger continued:
"Did Mrs. Newbold know Adèle Lamien, or Lallovich, to have committed a crime at some period of her life?"
"Yes, she had been told so."
"And Mrs. Newbold was perfectly sure that the lady calling herself Miss Hildreth was the same person who, at the Folly, was known as Adèle Lamien?"
"Yes."
