Question

What was the name of the aunt who gave helen a doll?

Answer 1

Lucy Helen Everett was Helen's maternal grandmother. Helen's aunt's name was Evelyn and from the description in Chapter 3,  she comes across as a very considerate and kind lady. She made a make-shift doll for Helen during the journey to Baltimore, out of towels. The doll was made without any features, so when Helen wanted to take two buttons out of her Aunt's dress to put eyes on her Doll, she agreed and understood what Helen wanted and did so promptly. This shows that Evelyn had a kind heart and she loved Helen dearly.
