The Old Lady was surprised to find that she could command it still , in defiance of unfashionable bonnet and ancient attire . Janet Moore and Sylvia Gray walked home from church together . `` Did you see Old Lady Lloyd out to-day ? '' asked Janet . `` I was amazed when she walked in . She has never been to church in my recollection . What a quaint old figure she is ! She 's very rich , you know , but she wears her mother 's old clothes and never gets a new thing . Some people think she is mean ; but , '' concluded Janet charitably , `` I believe it is simply eccentricity . '' `` I felt that was Miss Lloyd as soon as I saw her , although I had never seen her before , '' said Sylvia dreamily . `` I have been wishing to see her -- for a certain reason . She has a very striking face . I should like to meet her -- to know her . '' `` I do n't think it 's likely you ever will , '' said Janet carelessly . `` She does n't like young people and she never goes anywhere . I do n't think I 'd like to know her . I 'd be afraid of her -- she has such stately ways and such strange , piercing eyes . '' '' I should n't be afraid of her , '' said Sylvia to herself , as she turned into the Spencer lane . `` But I do n't expect I 'll ever become acquainted with her . If she knew who I am I suppose she would dislike me .
I suppose she never suspects that I am Leslie XXXXX 's daughter . ''
