text_original: I never have known, and until lately Dick has been too young to care  " "Has he begun asking questions?" demanded Ransford hastily. "Once or twice, lately  yes," replied Mary. "It's only natural." She laughed a little  a forced laugh. "They say," she went on, "that it doesn't matter, nowadays, if you can't tell who your grandfather was  but, just think, we don't know who our father was  except that his name was John Bewery. That doesn't convey much."
