AMY. 'Come, girl; who waits on him?' RICHARDSON. 'Me.' AMY, rather daunted, 'No man? Very strange.' Fortunately she sees the two plates. 'Stop.' Her eyes glisten. 'Two persons have been dining here!' Richardson begins to tremble. 'Why do you look so scared? Was the other a gentleman?' RICHARDSON. 'Oh, ma'am.' AMY, triumphantly, 'It was not!' But her triumph gives way to bewilderment, for she knows that when she left the house her mother was still in it. Then who can the visitor have been? 'Why are you trying to hide that plate? Was it a lady? Girl, tell me was it a lady?' RICHARDSON, at bay, 'He--he calls her a lady.' AMY, the omniscient, 'But you know better!' RICHARDSON. 'Of course I know she ain't a real lady.' AMY. 'Another woman. And not even a lady.' She has no mercy on the witness. 'Tell me, is this the first time she has dined here?'

James Smylie, of the State of Mississippi.
RICHARDSON, fixed by Amy's eye, 'No, ma'am--I meant no harm, ma'am.' AMY. 'I am not blaming _you_. Can you remember how often she has dined here?' RICHARDSON. 'Well can I remember. Three times last week.' AMY. 'Three times in one week, monstrous.' RICHARDSON, with her gown to her eyes, 'Yes, ma'am; I see it now.' AMY, considering and pouncing, 'Do you think she is an adventuress?' RICHARDSON. 'What's that?' AMY. 'Does she smoke cigarettes?' RICHARDSON, rather spiritedly, 'No, she don't.' AMY, taken aback, 'Not an adventuress.' She wishes Ginevra were here to help her. She draws upon her stock of knowledge. 'Can she be secretly married to him? A wife of the past turned up to blackmail him? That's very common.'
