"But, I had to disguise myself as a stranger."
...
Dilbert Walker paused here, and Ella Lacey was stunned.
So she wasn't abandoned by that man on that trip to the Cloud Mountain?
She remembered that he and another woman left on a private plane, and she was left alone. Luckily, she ran into Uncle Walker who drove her home.
But, Uncle Walker was his own arrangement...
"Miss Lacey, you may be surprised."
Only to hear Dilbert Walker continued to narrate, "But you don't know that behind the scenes, Mr. Gong did a lot of things for you."
"For instance, when you were sent to the Jefferson Family, he was very upset that night, smoking a lot of cigarettes anxiously. He was worried about you and drove behind you every day after work, watching you go home. The longer you stayed with the Jefferson Family, the longer he stayed at their doorway, both wanting to see you and to protect you."
