Beyond the Divorce
I was hoping to get some information about where my father was.
"Millard Huffman," he said angrily. "All I remember is my surname, Millard.”
"That’s a pity," I repeated.
He looked at me, growing more impatient. "Stop beating around the bush and get to the point."
"Anson gave you your name, right, Millard?” I wanted to confirm this with him.
"Yes, he did." He stood on a stool, studying me.
"He meant for you to remember your original surname, even if you had become part of the Huffman family at the time. That’s why he made Millard your first name. Is that correct?”
