"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!"

They said they would rather it would come to me from themselves than from strangers. NOW 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 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
