"American, then?" suggested Hetherwick.
"Well, he married her over there, certainly," said Boxley. "But I should say she isn't American."
"You've met her—personally?"
"Just. Run across her once or twice at various affairs, and been introduced to her, quite casually. No, I don't think she's American. If I wanted to label her, I should say she was cosmopolitan."
"Woman of the world, eh?"
"Decidedly so. Handsome woman—self-possessed—self-assured—smart, clever. I think she'll know how to take care of the money her husband left her."
"Leave her everything?"
"Every penny!—except some inconsiderable legacies to charitable institutions. It was said at the time—it's two years since the old chap died—that she's got over two millions."
"And this institution, or whatever it is?"
"Oh, that! That was in the papers not so long since."
