"And is that all?" "Well, there was a mention of something--in a vague sort of way--that I was to inherit when I grew up. Whether it was land or money no one can tell. The reference is so veiled. Even Uncle John, and he is a stock and bond broker, you know, says he is puzzled. He has had a search made in Rockford--that's where the flood was--but it came to nothing. And so that is all I know of my past." "But your aunt must know something of your mother if they were relatives." "Very little. They saw each other hardly at all, and not for some years before my mother's marriage, Aunt Sarah says. How my parents came to pin the Stoningtons' address on my baby dress they can only guess.

THERE WAS A SORT OF DIARY IN THE BED WITH ME BUT IT ONLY GAVE DETAILS OF MY BABY DAYS PROBABLY IT WAS WRITTEN BY MY MOTHER FOR THE HANDWRITING IS THAT OF A WOMAN AUNT SARAH GAVE IT TO ME THE OTHER DAY I SHALL ALWAYS TREASURE IT AND IS THAT ALL WELL THERE WAS A MENTION OF SOMETHING IN A VAGUE SORT OF WAY THAT I WAS TO INHERIT WHEN I GREW UP WHEREVER IT WAS LAND OR MONEY NO ONE CAN TELL THE REFERENCE IS SO VEILED EVEN UNCLE JOHN AND HE IS A STOCK AND BONDBROKER YOU KNOW SAYS HE IS PUZZLED HE HAS HAD A SEARCHMAID IN ROCKFORD THAT WAS WHERE THE FLOOD WAS BUT IT CAME TO NOTHING AND SO THAT IS ALL I KNOW OF MY PAST BUT YOUR AUNT MUST KNOW SOMETHING OF YOUR MOTHER IF THEY WERE RELATIVES VERY LITTLE THEY SAW EACH OTHER HARDLY AT ALL AND NOT FOR SOME YEARS BEFORE MY MOTHER'S MARRIAGE AUNT SARAH SAYS HOW MY PARENTS CAME TO PIN THE STONINGTON'S ADDRESS ON MY BABY DRESS THEY CAN ONLY GUESS AND I'LL NEVER KNOW PROBABLY DID IT BEFORE THEY WERE OR DROWNED THEN YOUR NAME ISN'T STONINGTON AFTER ALL AMY
