-
"No."
-
I do not know why but I inquired again.
-
"Have you ever witnessed anyone in this photograph?"
-
"No," she said again,

-
"Have you ever witnessed anyone in this photograph?"

like Grandfather held it to his face.
-
"No," she said again,
-
and this seemed like a third variety of no.
-
I put the photograph in her hands.
