\u201cMiss Graham told me nothing\u2026 without so much as one word of recommendation from any living creature,\u201d (Braddon 234).<\/p>\n
Before this passage, Robert asks both Mrs. Vincent and Miss Tonks where Lucy Graham was coming from.\u00a0Mrs. Vincent gave a very vague answer that she was coming from the seaside.\u00a0 In this passage, Miss Tonks answers, \u201cMiss Graham told me nothing; she was too clever for that.\u201d We can see that Miss Tonks is very sure that Lucy Graham is hiding something, especially when Robert asks, \u201cyou think she had secrets, then?\u201d and she make sure to emphasize, \u201cI know she had.\u201d\u00a0 We are also previously given information that Miss Tonks has a very good memory and if she cannot remember where Lucy had come from or when, then that makes Robert even more suspicious.\u00a0 It also seems that even though Miss Tonk has little information on Lucy, she has no problem with throwing her under the bus with any information she has, \u201cShe made the most of what she did know,\u201d (Braddon 235). Though Robert is suspicious of Lucy, he also notices how easy it is for her to do this when she reveals the box, \u201cHow pitiless these women are to each other.\u201d With this box, Robert was able to discover a label, \u201cwhich bore the name of Miss Graham, passenger to London,\u2019 which brought the novel to a cliffhanger with more evidence for Mr. Audley\u2019s investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
