Even in her painting smock and with her
disarranged hair, the likeness between the two girls was marvellous. If it were but
the question of his reason for marrying her, the solution would have been simple. Sheppard's dress—extremely
neat and clean, but simply fashioned, and of the plainest and most unpretending
material,—offered nothing assailable; and her demeanour was so humble, and
her looks so modest, that—if she had been ill-looking—she might, possibly,
have escaped the shafts of malice preparing to be levelled against her. But of what use to wear it when there was no one of importance to
see and admire?

Wasn’t she also a foster child? Michelle told me that she
was suspected of murder, some people named McFerrin,
