The mysterious two-souled lady possesses , at present , all her faculties intact , as before the murder , and is indeed , people say , a remarkably spry and intelligent young person ; but she has most conveniently forgotten all the events of her past life , and more particularly the circumstances of her father 's death , which is commonly conjectured to have been due to the pistol of some unknown lover . Such freaks of memory are common , we all know , in the matter of small debts and of newspaper subscriptions , but they seldom extend quite so far as the violent death of a near relation . However , Una knows her own business best .
