“Oh yes. She’s the only one I had ever talked with and told about how much I liked them. I thought perhaps she was injured more seriously than she realized, so I determined to go to her—”
“How did she sound on the telephone? Like her usual self?”
“No. Her voice was strained and harsh. She’s really not right mentally. Her memory—”
“Did you tell all this to Bollman?”
“What?”
“About the telephone call and the music box and Josephine losing her memory.”
“Let me see. Yes — I guess I did.”
Bertha was excited now.
“You got the music box right after she’d been hurt, is that right?”
“Yes — within a day or two.”
