"What's that?" "Death，mademoiselle，unfortunately creates a prejudice.A prejudice infavour of the deceased.I heard what you said just now to my friendHastings."A nice bright girl with no men friends."You said that in mockeryof the newspapers，And it is very true-when a young girl is dead，that isthe kind of thing that is said.She was bright.She was happy.She wassweet-tempered.She had not a care in the world.She had no undesirableacquaintances.There is a great charity always to the dead.Do you know what Ishould like this minute?I should like to find someone who knew ElizabethBarnard and who does not know she is dead!Then，perhaps，I should hear whatis useful to me-the truth."

Megan Barnard said，still in the same detached tone: "I was extremely fond of Betty.But my fondness didn't blind me fromseeing exactly the kind of silly little fool she was-and even telling her soupon occasions!Sisters are like that." "And did she pay any attention to your advice?" "Probably not，"said Megan cynically. "Will you，mademoiselle，be precise."
