But at last it was done . Then , sitting down before her , Miss Ophelia began to question her . ` How old are you , Topsy ? ' ` Dunno , missis , ' said she , grinning like an ugly little black doll . ` Do n't know how old you are ! Did nobody ever tell you ? Who was your mother ? ' ` Never had none , ' said Topsy , with another grin . ` Never had any mother ! What do you mean ? Where were you born ? ' ` Never was born . ' ` You must n't answer me like that , child , ' said Miss Ophelia sternly . ' I am not playing with you . Tell me where you were born , and who your father and mother were . ' ` Never was born , ' said Topsy again very decidedly . ` Never had no father , nor mother , nor nothin ! ' Miss Ophelia hardly knew what to make of her . ` How long have you lived with your master and mistress , then ? ' she asked .
` Dunno , XXXXX . '
