The Vicar's Daughter

I think that is the way my father would begin. My name is Ethelwyn Percivale and used to be Ethelwyn Walton. I always put the Walton in between when I write to my father; for I think it is quite enough to have to leave father and mother behind for a husband without leaving their name behind you also. I am fond of lumber-rooms and in some houses consider them far the most interesting spots; but I don't choose that my old name should lie about in the one at home.
