Synopsis
Excerpt from The Open Question: A Tale of Two Temperaments
IT is not always easy to trace the origin of an American family, even when the immediate progenitor did not begin life as a boot-black or a prospector, without so much as a grub stake. The Ganos had been people of some edu cation and some means - clergymen, merchants going to and from the West Indies, or home-keeping planters in the South - for the little space of a hundred years before the Civil War. Further back than that - darkness.
Whether the name was' of Huguenot, Flemish, Italian, or other origin, the Ganos themselves, like thousands of families of consequence in America, never pretended to know. Only one of the race ever evinced the least dispo sitiou to care.
