She had always known the widow, long before Mr. Gridley came there to board, or any other special event happened in her family. No matter what people said. Miss Badlam called to see Mrs. Hopkins, then, and the two had a long talk together, of which only a portion is on record. Here are such fragments as have been preserved. "What would I do about it?
"Cynthia Badlam Fund Hopkins," said the good woman triumphantly, "is that what you mean?" "Suppose we leave out one of the names, four are too many. I think the general opinion will be that Hehninthia should unite the names of her two benefactresses, Cynthia Badlam Hopkins." "Why, law! Mr. Gridley, is n't that nice?

I never thought, Miss Badlam! but then of course you could have had your pickin' and choosin' in the time of it; and I don't mean to say it's too late now if you felt called that way, for you're better lookin' now than some that's younger, and there's no accountin' for tastes."

When he learned that he was assiduously visiting The Poplars, and that he was in close communication with Miss Cynthia Badlam, he felt sure that he was pressing the siege of Myrtle's heart.
After grave consultation of all his mental faculties in committee of the whole, he arrived at the following conclusion, that Miss Cynthia Badlam was the depositary of a secret involving interests which he felt it his business to defend, and of a document which was fraudulently withheld and meant to be used for some unfair purpose.
