"It was an early fall morning, months after Peter McVries won the Long Walk, when the Musketeers' next of kin – Ginny Garraty, Clementine Olson, and Geraldine Baker – each heard a knock at their door. When they opened it, no one was there. Instead, they each found a large envelope filled with more money than any of them had ever seen. These mysterious envelopes kept arriving, month after month, for as long as they could remember. And one day not long after the first envelopes arrived, Geraldine Baker received a small parcel. Inside was a rosary and cross."
