Chapter 6 ~Where are the children?
The fire crackled in the hearth as A young man paced the floor. "I'm plum puzzled sir."He sighed to his companion."I've searched everywhere and I still haven't found them." "Are you sure it said England?Tell me their names again,Paul." "I'm positive it said England, sir."He sat down."Their names are Kenneth John and Lynette Tinisha.Although I believe they called Lynette, "Tina",For she was her Mother's namesake." "Hmm."The man rubbed his chin."Where in England,Paul?" "The Telegram didn't say,Sir.It just stated that their parents had Died somewhere in England.I presume since they were left orphans,They would have probably been put in an orphan asylum of some sort.All of the places I've looked have had no traces of the children. I'm clean worn out,Sir.I haven't the slightest Idea where else to look" "you say you've been searching for three Years?" "yes,sir.It's up to me to raise them,As I'm their only relation left." The man raised his eyebrows."The only one?" "Yes,I'm their third cousin.The family Died of the rare illness called cholera.My parents too." The man slowly got up from his chair."well this is a sad case,But I'll try my best to help you find them.Perhaps it would be wise to begin searching schools and such." "yes,Maybe so.I may as well get some rest and begin straightway in the morning.Thankyou for your consideration,Edmond." "Good evening."He tipped his hat as he opened the door,and stepped out into the whirl of snowflakes." "Those children are somewhere."He thought to himself as he got into the street car."And somehow I'm going to find them." Meanwhile,As this was happening,Kenneth was just leaving the Holenwald's place.He was on his way to meet Peter,Who had invited him to stay with him and his uncle in the shabby apartment. Feeling a little more comfortable than usual,He contentedly settled down to sleep that night,Oblivious of all the distress His Cousin was going through,In search on him and Tina.
