His favorite narrative was of the coming of Gentleman Geoff with you to his cabin; of the death of his own little daughter and of Gentleman Geoff's long illness and subsequent gratitude and generosity to him. Your foster father, in recognition of his hospitality and care, had given him sufficient money to start in business, and Hillery never forgot it.
"That's the name on that document; the name of the man who adopted her, 'Gentleman Geoff. She won't claim 'Murdaugh' and doesn't accept 'Hillery, so she's chosen the one name she's sure of. Do you suppose that means she is going to contest the validity of this new claim?" "Possibly." North shook his head. "It would be a losing fight for her, though, Ripley.
I don't believe he had any idea of the purpose to which the document would be put, or its far-reaching effects, and if he has gone to war, his punishment is on the knees of the gods." "Exactly. He did not know. The name of Murdaugh wasn't mentioned in it if you remember, only those of Hillery and the supposed Abercrombie." "'Abercrombie!" repeated Willa meditatively.
The document set forth in brief that Frank Hillery, being of sound mind and sole guardian of his daughter, Louise Frances, did give her to Geoffrey Abercrombie, known as "Gentleman Geoff," for absolute adoption; the said Gentleman Geoff promising to bring her up in all ways as his own child and to leave her whatever he might die possessed of. It was dated March 12, 1902.
