"But she is your friend, I suppose, and you know her as well as I do," he added after a while. "Oh no, she is a perfect stranger to me. We only saw her once for a few minutes when she brought Fan down to us last May." "How strange! But I should have thought that Miss Affleck would have told you everything about her before now."
It was only your stepfather's name according to your account, and I must find you a different one. Do you know what your mother's name was before she married, I mean?" "Oh yes, ma'am; it was Margaret Affleck." "Affleck. It is not common and not ugly. Frances Affleck that sounds better. Yes, that will do; your name, as long as you live with me, shall be Affleck; you must not forget that."

He recalled their conversation about novels, and remembered the titles of five popular works he had mentioned which Miss Affleck had not read.

I did not know that you had had the misfortune to lose more than one." "The first was the lady I lived with in London before I went to the Churtons'." "Oh, yes, I see what you mean.

And the poor people I used to visit all seemed so glad to see me again, and all called me "Miss Affleck," which made it like old times.
