Lines from 1-6 find one phrase that shows that the maid had a clear view of what happened?

I am just suggesting that it could be line 4.

Explanation:

I say this because it mentions how the "details were few and startling", meaning there is a specific description for said details. The details have been described in that phrase, thereby implying that that is what the maid saw (few and startling details)
