"I believe I was three years old when I saw him last, and now Mr Emmett says he is dead."
"Mr Emmett says? I presume you have some proof of the fact beyond Mr Emmett's bare word."
"I daresay the Sisters have."
"What Sisters?"
"At the convent."
"At the convent? Were you in a convent?"
"Of course; I was at the Convent of the Sacré Cœur at Vannes--Vannes is in Brittany, if you know where that is."
"I do happen to know where that is; indeed, I happen to have some knowledge of Vannes. Were there any other girls there besides you?"
"Lots and lots, at different times."
"Could you give me the names of any of them?"
