"Did it never occur to any one to ask her?"
"Yes, Mrs. Wyman asked her one day."
"And what did she reply?"
"Whichever you please—it is quite immaterial."
"Do you think she has any reason to maintain secrecy on this point?"
"I think not. She probably takes the ground that it is nobody's business but her own."
"How soon did she obtain her designation of the 'Disagreeable Woman?'"
"Almost immediately I judge. When I first met her she had been a member of Mrs. Gray's household for a week, and already this was the way she was spoken of."
"I suppose she does not live in the house?"
"No."
