Alphabetics.

During the last class, the children of Judge Goldsworth were mentioned. The interesting point, of course being that the names of the kids are alphabetical, from A to D. Alphina, Betty, Candida, and Dee.

It is interesting to note also, that this order is from youngest to oldest. This means that for the alphabetical pattern to work, Mr. and Mrs. Goldsworth would have had to have known that they were going to have four kids before they named their first. They knew that when they named their first child Dee their last child would end on A. Alphina.

Just an interesting point I thought I'd share. The childrens' introductions along with their ages can be found on page 83.
