'He wanted to get some information about it, and I told him I would show it to you. Here is the note he left. The manager turned the crystal over and over in his hand, put on his eyeglasses and peered into it, then picked up the piece of paper and looked at what Kenyon had written.

Beyond dispute he had recognized the welcoming tones above as belonging to his aunt, Miss Lavinia Talcott. "It's like dreaming," mused Andy. "All this happening together, and here in New York City!
