Part 3, Section 1, Chapter 7
- Walter starts asking Mrs. Clements for details about Anne's upbringing, and he gets an earful.
- In a nutshell, Mrs. Clements and her husband lived in a town called Welmingham.
- The Cathericks lived there too, and a serious scandal broke out when Sir Percival Glyde started nosing around town and visiting Mrs. Catherick.
- Mr. Catherick suspected an affair, as did most others in the town.
- To make matters worse, there was serious doubt as to whether or not Mrs. Catherick's baby was even her husband's.
- Mr. Catherick couldn't deal with the scandal, and he skipped town.
- Mrs. Clements becomes Anne's nurse and loves the little girl.
- She has it in for Mrs. Catherick, who was a lousy mother on top of all her other faults—namely, being a promiscuous girl (remember: this is Victorian England. Everyone is uptight).
- Walter keeps plugging away with the questions and asks if Sir Percival knew Mrs. Catherick before her marriage.
- Mrs. Clements says she's not sure, and Sir Percival didn't seem to be friends with Mrs. Catherick's former employer, a Major Donthorne.
- Walter feels bad for Mrs. Clements and finally reveals that Anne is dead.
- Mrs. Clements is super-upset.
- But she gives him Mrs. Catherick's address, even though she can't figure out why he wants to deal with that woman.
