    julia. I've been reminded of it.

    martha. It was mine, wasn't it?

    julia. Oh, of course.

    martha. Laura never would admit it was mine. She wanted it; so I'd no right to it.

    julia. I had a little idea that was it.

    martha. For years she was determined to have it: and I was determined she shouldn't have it. And she didn't have it!

    julia. Who did have it?
