During the three-hour ride to Paris, Mrs. Miller asks odd and even ghoulish questions. Did Margaret cry very much? How large was the scar? Was the surgeon good? Experienced? Would Margaret now be a cripple? Elizabeth says she doesn’t remember about the crying or the surgeon and doesn’t know about the future. As for the scar—it was awful. Mrs. Miller would soon see for herself, and she may faint again.

Finally, near Saint-Denis, Mrs. Miller leans her head back. Tears run out of the corners of her eyes. She pats the seat beside her like a blind person, finds Elizabeth’s hand, holds it for a moment.

I’m so glad, she whispers. I’m so glad she’s alive. I’m so glad you were with her. You must move with her to my apartment. She will need you to be close by. You’re very dear to her, you know. You always have been.
