"You see?It is the same motif three times repeated.That cannot becoincidence.When mademoiselle spoke I had the feeling that what she saidlinked up with something.I know now with what.The words spoken by MrsAscher's next-door neighbour,Mrs Fowler.About people who were always tryingto sell you things-and she mentioned stockings.Tell me,mademoiselle,it istrue,is it not,that your mother bought those stockings,not at a shop,butfrom someone who came to the door?"
