He and mother worked together for many years to combat the evils of this city. He helped my mother found this orphanage, but disagreed with her when she wanted to open it up as a haven for those caught out after dark as well. He felt it would bring potential danger to the children, but my mother was so compassionate. She couldn't bear the thought of so many locked doors in this city and not a single one open to a soul in need. It is ironic that the one thing I have had all these years to remind me of them was the one thing that drove them apart. Until now that is. Thank you for this. It means so much that you undertook the effort to return it."Marda then takes the locket and places it in her pocket. She pulls out a kerchief and wipes her eyes. She then turns to the rest of you. "Please forgive me. I normally try to keep better control of my emotions than this. Tell me more about your attackers. Did you get a good look at any of them or learn their names? As I said, I know anyone who is anyone in this city. It would be good to know if this was some random act of violence or if there is some greater need for concern."</blockquote>
