“Did she die there?”
“No.”
“How did you learn this?”
“I paid a second visit to the place after a long lapse of time, and was told she had become well and been discharged.”
“She did not seek you out after being discharged?”
“She must have sought me, although she failed to find me, as I had for some time been away from the tenement in which we lived at the time she was taken ill.”
“You have never seen her, then, since the day she was taken to the hospital?”
“I have not.”
“Nor heard of her?”
“No.”
