Lord & Taylor had windows full of its famed big, swinging golden bells with chime accompaniment, the same as last Christmas-the first "repeat" in recent Fifth Avenue history...
Describing her daughter in detail, she asked that anyone having the slightest clue to her probable whereabouts contact the family. Her husband and another daughter, Lucy, 15, who fled through a muddy field when Mary was seized, stood beside her. Brown spoke briefly, saying that he had nothing to add to his wife's words "except that I want her back...
