Read the excerpt from "The Lady Maid's Bell." But that wasn't the only queer thing in the house. The very next day I found out that Mrs. Brympton had no
nurse; and then asked Agnes about the woman I had seen in the passage the afternoon before. Agnes said she
had seen no one, and I saw that she thought was dreaming. To be sure, it was dusk when we went down the
passage, and she had excused herself for not bringing a light; but had seen the woman plain enough to know
her again if we should meet. I decided that she must have been a friend of the cook's, or of one of the other
women servants: perhaps she had come down from town for a night's visit, and the servants wanted it kept
secret. Some ladies are very stiff about having their servants' friends in the house overnight. At any rate, made
up my mind to ask no more questions.
Which statement describes a gothic element in this excerpt that reflects a social attitude of Wharton's time?
O The narrator feels inadequate when she reports seeing a supernatural being and nobody believes her.

supernatural.
