She's always stayed most of the time up in her rooms in the east wing, except during meals, or when she went out with me, or went to the things she and Father had to go to together.

For they did go to lots of things, Nurse says.
It seems that for a long time they didn't want folks to know there was going to be a divorce.

So before folks they tried to be just as usual.
But Nurse Sarah said _she_ knew there was going to be one long ago.
The first I ever heard of it was Nurse telling Nora, the girl we had in the kitchen then; and the minute I got a chance I asked Nurse what it was--a divorce.
My, I can remember now how scared she looked, and how she clapped her hand over my mouth.

She wouldn't tell me--not a word.

And that's the first time I ever saw her give that quick little look over each shoulder.
