She must have known---it was her daughter, too. I can just imagine the mother saying, "hmmmmm....I haven't seen Elisabeth in 24 years...I wonder how she's doing...really, i MUST call..." and then the three kids who papa allowed to live upstairs with them--what did he tell his wife about that? That they were foundlings? Adopted? Taken off the streets? She knew. Oh, she knew.
