Joe: I slipped the Duke in the dark. I came back to talk with you. (Then bluntly, but with kindness.) How old are you, my dear?
Betsy: I don 't know.
Joe: You don 't know? How long have you lived here?
Betsy: In this cabin? Three years.
Joe: And where did you live before?
Betsy: In the village—in Clovelly.
"She did washing for the sailormen" Joe: Did your parents live there?
Betsy: Y-e-s. I think so. I don 't know. Old Nancy, they called her—she brought me up. But she died three years ago.
Joe: Who was old Nancy?
