"How did your sister know that he was there?"
"I can not tell."
"Did you know where he was?"
"I knew nothing about him. But my sister managed our affairs; and when Gualtier left us I dare say he gave his address to my sister, in case of our wanting his services again."
"You dismissed Gualtier, I suppose, because you had no longer need for his services?"
"Yes."
"You say that she never treated him with any particular attention?"
"On the contrary, she never showed any thing but marked hauteur toward him. I was indifferent--she took trouble to be dignified."
"Have you any living relatives?"
"No--none."
