"You have had a great sorrow recently, I believe?"
"Yes, sir."
"A very bitter bereavement?"
"Yes, sir."
"Have you any near relatives living?"
"Yes, sir. A sister and several aunts and uncles."
"Do they know where you are?"
"No, sir—at least, not precisely. They know I am in the mountains."
"Will you give me the names and addresses of these relatives?"
"I would rather not, if you please. I do not care to involve them in any troubles of mine."
