"Oh, he asks me if I remember things. You see, he tries to tell with his diagram things just when I shall forget and when I'll remember, and he comes down to fix them up. I don't understand it much, but he says that he's going to cure me."
"Oh, he's going to make you remember everything, I suppose."
"I hope so."
"Do you remember what happened yesterday?" I asked.
"Why, I sent Leah away, didn't I?"
"No, that was three days ago."
"Was it?" she returned, heading off an infuriated ant with her straw. She seemed to take little interest in the subject.
"What did you want me to take back Leah for, anyway?" she asked.
"I think she's honest and devoted. She's thoroughly fine. Do you realize what temptations a girl might have who knew that you forgot things?"
"I suppose she would. I never thought of that." As she spoke she crushed the ant with a twig.
