The Daughter of Anderson Crow

CHAPTER VIII
1/16


Some Years Go By Tinkletown as a unit supported Anderson in his application for guardianship papers.

They were filed immediately after the secret visit of the mysterious woman; the Circuit Court at Boggs City, after hearing the evidence, at once entered the appointment of Mr.Crow.When the court asked in mild surprise why he did not adopt the child, Anderson and Eva looked at each other sheepishly and were silent for a full minute.

Then Anderson spoke up a bit huskily: "Well, you see, judge, her name would have to be Crow, an' while it's a good name an' an honoured one, it don't jest seem to fit the young 'un.
She 'pears to be more of a canary than a crow, figuratively speakin', and Eva an' me jest decided we'd give her a different sort of a last name if we could find one.

Seems to me that Rosie Canary would be a good one, but Eva an' the childern are ag'in me.

They've decided to call her Rosalie Gray, an' I guess that about settles it.
