Notes:
Gavin gets back from the war and adopts Linda into his life. This can only be after armistice day. At the time Linda is 11. She turns 12 in April. Ratliff constantly has a two year time span in mind. We have thus tried to capture that by making her 11 and at most 12 right before here 13th birthday.
Summary:
Gavin has already "adopted the rest of his life" into Linda's future, professing his enduring devotion to Eula as Helen of Troy (148).
