“Because she was recognized.”

“By whom?”

“Several of the servants.”

“How did she come?”

“She came to the door and inquired for Miss Doane. She did not give her name or attempt in anyway to explain who she was, but the woman who saw her exclaimed: ‘You are my lady!’”

“What was her reply?”

“She said: ‘So you recognize me after all these years!’”

“What then?”

The other rejoined:

“Don’t you think it would be as well for you to see the lady yourself?”
