In truth, she was madly curious to know.

And probably she never would know.
And what would happen now?
It suddenly occurred to her that Wayne might be rather annoyed at having Ann commit suicide.

But there was a little catch in her laugh at the thought of Wayne's consternation.
A long time she sat there wondering.

Where _had_ Ann come from?
She had just seemed whirled out of the nowhere into the there, as an unannounced comet in well-ordered heavens Ann had come.

From what other world ?--and why?
Did she belong to anybody?
Another pleasant prospect for poor Wayne! Was some one looking for Ann?
Would there be things in the paper about her?
Surely a girl could not step out of her life and leave no trail behind.
Things could not close up like that, even about Ann.
