“Marilla’s gone?”

The news hit Mr. and Mrs. Abernathy like a cold blast of winter air.

“She’s gone! I’ve looked everywhere, she’s just not there!” Lily’s voice trembled on the verge of tears.

As Evadne’s mind raced, a thought struck her, and she asked urgently, “What did this woman look like?”

“She wore a mask, but her eyes, I’ll never forget those eyes.”

“Because they looked so much like yours.”
