[Hetty Gray by Rosa Mulholland]@TWC D-Link bookHetty Gray CHAPTER XIX 10/19
She believes that Hetty is her sister who was drowned when she was a baby." Mrs.Enderby looked at Reine with a face of extreme surprise. "Nell talks so much nonsense," she said, "that I scarcely know what to think of her speeches sometimes." And then seeing Reine's eyes full of tears, she added kindly: "Dear child, is there any grain of truth in what this wild little scatter-brain has said ?" Reine burst into tears. "Don't mind me, Mrs.Enderby, please; I have been awake all night, and I don't feel like myself.
It is only that Hetty Gray is so--so _distressingly_ like my mother.
And Nell says she was found on the sea-shore after a storm and wrecks.
And it is fourteen years ago.
And that is the very time when our vessel was wrecked, and my father and mother believed that our baby was drowned.
