"No," answered Janina quietly.
"I forgot to tell you that old Mrs. Niedzielska was here to see me yesterday."
"Do you know her?" asked the younger woman.
"Not at all, but she had some business with me. Oh, she is a sly fox, that old hag!" added Sowinska.
"Perhaps she is a bit too miserly, but otherwise she is a rather honest woman."
"Honest? You'll find out yet for yourself how honest she is."
"Why?" asked Janina, but without curiosity, for it didn't at all interest her now.
"I will only say this much . . . that she does not love you in the least, not in the least!"
"That's strange, for I never did her any wrong," answered Janina.
Sowinska's demeanor suddenly changed, for she glanced angrily at Janina and wanted to say something sharp, but seeing that Janina's face wore an expression of complete indifference, she refrained and left the room.
