Mary Cochran went out of therooms she lived with her father, Doctor Lester Cochran, at seven o' clock on aSunday evening. It was June of the year nineteen hundred and eight, and Marywas eighteen years old. She walked along Tremont to Main Street and across the railroadtracks toUpper Main, lined with small shopsand shabby houses, a rather quiet cheerless place on Sunday when there were fewpeople about. She had toldher father she was going to church but did notintend anything of the kind. She did not know what she wanted todo. "T' II get offby myself andthink," she told herself as she walked slowly along. The night,she thought, promised to be too fine to be spent sitting in a church andhearing aman talk of things that had apparently nothing to do with her ownproblem. Her own affairs were approaching a crisis, and it was time for hertobegin thinking seriously of her future.The thoughtful serious stateof mind in which Mary found herself had been induced in her by a conversationshe had with her father on the eveningbefore. Without any preliminary talk andquite suddenly and abruptly, he had told her that he was a victim of heartdisease and might die at anymoment. He had made the announcement as they stoodtogether in his office, behind which were the rooms in which the father anddaughter lived.
