"Helen, why didn't you write when you learned you were pregnant?" he cried. "I would have rushed up here, we could have gotten married, and the baby would have my name!"

Well" she said "when my folks found out about my condition, we sat up all night talkin' and talkin' and decided it would be better to have a ba#@ard in the family than a lawyer".
