6.Allegra Four
At eight o’clock the next morning Allegra's mother came to my room and woke me up. 
She had a big smile on her face. ‘My Allegra is much better!’ she said. 
‘The doctor telephoned early this morning. He says that the fever has gone. 
‘It went suddenly last night. She's going to get well. Oh, I'm so happy! 
‘I'm going to the hospital to bring her home. Would you like to come with me?’
So we went to the hospital and I saw Allegra. She looked a little tired but she was well. 
Perhaps you can understand how I felt. Allegra Henderson was dead— but I felt that she was alive again!
That was on April 21st, eight years ago.
And now? Well, six years ago I met an Italian girl and we fell in love. 
We got married and a year later my wife had a baby girl. 
She's got long black hair and green eyes. Her face is pale but beautiful. 
She is tall for her years. She speaks English and Italian very well, but she can't say ‘r’. 
Yes, she's like my little friend Allegra who died twelve years ago. But she's a happy child.
Today I’ve asked her lots of times, ‘How are you? Do you feel well?’
‘Yes, Daddy, of course I feel well,’ she says. And she laughs.
‘Are you sure?’
‘Yes! I feel fine. Why?’
But I don't want to tell her why. 
You see, today is April 20th and tomorrow my daughter will he five years and three months old.
Oh! I forgot to tell you her name! But you know it already— don't you?
