Evelina
Authorship not stated
A thick packet reaches Berry Hill in April rain, and your name is on the first page. In Paris, Lady Howard has met the grandmother you have never seen, and Madame Duval says the girl has been kept from her proper family long enough. You play Evelina, raised by a country clergyman on careful fragments of your mother's history. He drafts a reply setting terms — where, whether, and what may not be said about her. A second letter, addressed to you, is still folded.
