“She nodded and looked satisfied, to be sure; but she didn’t smile. I asked if things hadn’t turned out exactly as she’d hoped.“Oh, no, the bidding between Dr. Crab and Nobu went just as I’d hoped,” she told me, “and the final figure was a considerable sum. The moment I found out, I knew Mrs. Nitta would certainly adopt you. I couldn’t be more pleased!”This is what she said.
