"One moment and I will see," replied the matron.
She rang a bell and instructed an attendant to check over the institution records. In a short while the report came back. No person by the name of Michael Haymond had ever resided at the Glenhaven Home.
"It's barely possible the young man took the name of Haymond after leaving the institution," Penny said slowly. "I wonder if you would recognize him by description?"
"How long has he been away?" questioned the matron.
"I am only guessing but I should say at least two years."
"Then I'd not remember him. You see I took charge of the Glenhaven Home only nine months ago. The person for you to see is Mrs. Havers. She was matron here for over twenty years."
"Do you know where I could find her?" inquired Penny.
"I will give you her address." Mrs. Barker reached for pencil and paper.
"Does she live close by?" Penny asked.
"Yes, only a short distance away in the town of Ferndale. Mrs. Havers left her duties here upon account of serious illness, but I understand she is considerably improved now."
