((rises and coming C.)) It wasn't much, but I discovered something--I learnt that Ethel had a sister, a governess. Did you know Ethel had a sister, a governess? (CORN: Yes, but I never saw her!) Knew you'd think I hadn't tried, if I didn't find out something; so obtained the address of Sister, at a situation in Chester--went to Chester; sister had left--referred to a friend. Miss Topping; found Topping; worked round stealthily to subject, but the moment I mentioned Ethel's name, Miss T. shut up like an Oyster; no news there, except that Ethel's sister, Madeline Mifton---- (CORN: Yes!) Had gone to a situation as governess, in London. Resigned a good situation, for "some ridiculous notion"--that's what Miss T. called it--of coming to London--to look up--or hunt down--a young man to whom her sister was or had been engaged.
