In my lifetime, I've lived in a way that seems clever, and I have been clever, yet I've been equally confused. It's only when I've grown old and confused that I start to comprehend some truths.
After the old man's passing, I've pondered repeatedly, always asking myself, if one day I suddenly leave like the old man did, what would I worry about the most?
Thinking over and over, what I worry about the most is Jane, this child.
Therefore, I decided that before I leave, I must do something for Jane, this child, so that if one day I leave, I can depart with peace of mind.
Jane is now a big star, and you all like her. Inside the village, I hear everyone saying good things about her, which makes me very happy.
However, there's a concern in my heart, it's about Jane, and also about our Old Sampton's family.
I fear that one day when I leave, Jane's origins will be exposed, and someone might speak ill of her.
