I’m sorry, I don’t know to whom you refer

pass on all 3

1: I am not Bloomer and have to guess at her first name… Amelia?
3: I don’t know to whom you refer

But this current display of my ignorance is at an end, for although she was not my mother but my stepmother, she took fewer than forty whacks and there was sufficient doubt as to the question of whether I gave her them that I was aquitted, number 2 does refer to me - I am Lizzie Borden. Congratulations, SCAdian.
