Green. hetty says she regrets that
they did not have the name Robinson
tackled in somewhere, for she is very
proud of her family. Her father left
her 50, 600, 600 when he died and she
sserts that be was the kindest, incest,
cleverest and best man that ever lived.
She does not throw many bouquets
at her husband Edward II. Green.
She does not see him very often, some
times not once month. He lives at a
quiet New York hotel while Hctty
lives in various places. Whenever
the tax collector discovers her she
makes change. Her daughter some
times lives with her mother, again
with her father, but most of the une
with friends. Thus the family is
