Just in that tone of response from the girl Beverly could detect a slight accent. She was familiar with them given the circumstances at home. Beverly leaned against the threshold of the door and folded her arms.
"I'm Beverly Wayne, fourth year." She regarded the girl with somewhat of a curious gaze. "You have an interesting name."
Comments about her name were common for Marisol. She supposed it sounded quite exotic to the Brits. It was a conversation starter, so she was used to it. The eleven year-old shrugged.
"Thanks," Marisol replied.
"Is short for María de la Soledad. Mary of the Solitude." Even Mari herself got mixed up. She'd told someone yesterday that it meant Mary of the Sun. Well, she didn't get questions like that in Seville. Marisol Benicia Cruz Martinez. That sounded thoroughly Spanish, even to her.
