This was the asylum. Here she first heard herself called by Anne Catherickās name, and here, as a last remarkable circumstance in the story of the conspiracy, her own eyes informed her that she had Anne Catherickās clothes on. The nurse, on the first night in the asylum, had shown her the marks on each article of her underclothing as it was taken off, and had said, not at all irritably or unkindly, āLook at your own name on your own clothes, and donāt worry us all any more about being Lady Glyde. Sheās dead and buried, and youāre alive and hearty. Do look at your clothes now! There it is, in good marking ink, and there you will find it on all your old things, which we have kept in the houseā āAnne Catherick, as plain as print!ā And there it was, when Miss Halcombe examined the linen her sister wore, on the night of their arrival at Limmeridge House.
