1. Verity, tell me the most interesting thing about you.
Well, let’s see, I’m a widow with a five year old daughter, named Joy. She’s aptly named as she’s the joy of my life. As for something interesting, I was raised by my uncle who’s a doctor and my former husband was also a doctor. It’s only natural that I picked up some medical skills of m own. I now serve as assistant to my uncle whenever he needs held in his medical practice.

2. What do you do for
fun?
I make hats. I know that might sound a bit frivolous, but I love to work with colorful, fanciful materials and create beautiful, one-of-a-kind hats. And I’m good at it, if I do say so myself. My friend Hazel sells them for me in her dress shop and they never linger there long before someone purchases them.

3. What do you put
off doing because you dread it?
I don’t believe in putting things off, especially those things that you dread.

4. What are you afraid
of most in life?
Losing my daughter.
Losing my daughter.
5. What do you want
out of life?
I dearly love my aunt and uncle, but I don’t like having to live off of their charity. I’d like to find a way to build an independent life for myself and my daughter.

6. What is the most
important thing to you?
The question is ‘who’ not ‘what’ and that would be my daughter Joy. I’d do anything to keep her safe.

7. If you could
change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
I’d like to be more confident and less timid.

8. Do you have a pet?
If so, what is it and why that pet?
I don’t have any pets, mostly because I live in my aunt and uncle’s home and feel it would be an imposition. But Joy loves animals and can’t pass one by without wanting to play with it. Someday, when we have our own place, I’ll get her a pet of her own.

9. Can you tell us a little interesting tidbit about the
time period you live in?
William McKinley was inaugurated as the 25th
President of the United States just last month.
I hear that Mr. Thomas Edison’s new-fangled motion picture camera
captured the whole thing and that he even recorded the address with his
gramophone.
