“You don’t known your own

“No.” he said. "That’s the way

fishy.”
“But I don’t see how you can-
not know your mother’s name,”
said Maggie.
“For this reason,” he said. "My
father was—I don't know—some-
thing bad. A drunkard maybe.
Anyhow, my mother left him, and
she brought me over here. She
said we would use the name of her
family, Curtius, and what did I
care? I was only a child Well. I

“Who is it you want to call?”
“Well, really , I think that’s

“I think I won’t drive you any-
