I showed her to a nicety where I had seen her walking on the casks, that first old day, and she said, with a cold and careless look in that direction, “Did I?” I reminded her where she had come out of the house and given me my meat and drink, and she said, “I don't remember.” “Not remember that you made me cry?” said I. “No,” said she, and shook her head and looked about her.
