"Oh, I don't mind. I was only afraid you girls  " "Amy Stonington! If you even hint at such a thing again we'll never forgive you! OH I DON'T MIND I WAS ONLY AFRAID YOU GIRLS AMY STONINGTON IF YOU EVEN HINT AT SUCH A THING AGAIN WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU
 after all, Amy?" "Oh, yet it is. The queer part of it is that my mother is said to have married a man of the same name as Uncle John, but no relative, as far as we can learn. So I'm Amy Stonington just the same. My uncle and aunt formally adopted me after they found that there was no hope of locating my parents. And so I've lived in ignorance of the mystery about me until just the other day." "And then they told you?" "Yes. It was discussing the advisability of this that caused Uncle John and Aunt Sarah to confer so often. Then they decided that I was getting old enough to be told. They said they would rather it would come to me from themselves than from strangers." "Oh, then others know of it?" "Yes, a few persons in town, but they were good enough to keep it quiet for my sake. Among them, so Uncle John told me, were Alice Jallow's people. That is why I think she wrote the note. She must have found out about my secret in some way, and thought to taunt me with it." "The mean creature! WNED THEN YOUR NAME ISN'T STONINGTON AFTER ALL AMY OH YET IT IS THE QUEER PART OF IT IS MY MOTHER IS SAID TO HAVE MARRIED A MAN OF THE SAME NAME AS UNCLE JOHN BUT NO RELATIVES FAR AS WE CAN LEARN SO I'M AMY STONINGTON JUST THE SAME MY UNCLE AND AUNT FORMERLY ADOPTED ME AFTER THEY FOUND THAT THERE WAS NO HOPE OF LOCATING MY PARENTS AND SO I'VE LIVED IN IGNORANCE OF THE MYSTERY ABOUT ME UNTIL JUST THE OTHER DAY AND THEN THEY TOLD YOU YES IT WAS DISCUSSING THE ADVISABILITY OF THIS THAT CAUSED UNCLE JOHN AND AUNT SARAH TO CONFER SO OFTEN THEN THEY DECIDED THAT I WAS GETTING OLD ENOUGH TO BE TOLD THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD RATHER IT WOULD COME TO ME FROM THEMSELVES THAN FROM STRANGERS OH THEN OTHERS KNOW OF IT YES A FEW PERSONS IN TOWN BUT THEY WERE GOOD ENOUGH TO KEEP IT QUIET FOR MY SAKE AMONG THEM SO UNCLE JOHN TOLD ME WERE AUNT ALICE JALLOW'S PEOPLE THAT IS WHY I THINK SHE WROTE THE NOTE SHE MUST HAVE FOUND OUT ABOUT MY SECRET IN SOME WAY AND THOUGHT TO TAUNT ME WITH IT THE MEAN CREATURE
