Johnny's mother was named Vinny, and according to Lavinia, she was the wildest, handsomest girl in Boston. Johnny's father was a naval surgeon, a Frenchman, and a Catholic. Johnny's parents were married by a ship's captain (the Lyte's forbid Vinny from marrying him, but she did it anyway). Johnny's father died, and Vinny was sent to a convent, where she gave birth to Johnny three months after his father died. Vinny's maid helped she and Johnny escape the convent to Maine, where Johnny grew up.
What does Lavinia tell Johnny about his parents?
