But she ca n't speak a word and never could , at least , so they say . The truth is , nobody knows much about her . Janet and Thomas never speak of her , and Neil wo n't either . He has been well questioned , too , you can depend on that ; but he wo n't ever say a word about Kilmeny and he gets mad if folks persist . '' `` Why is n't she to be spoken of ? '' queried Eric impatiently . `` What is the mystery about her ? '' `` It 's a sad story , Master . I suppose the Gordons look on her existence as a sort of disgrace . For my own part , I think it 's terrible , the way she 's been brought up . But the Gordons are very strange people , Mr. Marshall . I kind of reproved father for saying so , you remember , but it is true . They have very strange ways . And you 've really seen Kilmeny ? What does she look like ? I 've heard that she was handsome . Is it true ? '' `` I thought her very beautiful , '' said Eric rather curtly . `` But HOW has she been brought up , Mrs. Williamson ? And why ? ''
`` Well , I might as well tell you the whole story , XXXXX .
HOW Master Mr. existence folks nobody part people story truth
