The chapter opens with a flashback to the day of the birth of the child. The narrator explains that the child was conceived by a woman who was not recognized as the mother of the baby. The woman's identity was unknown to the child's father, and the father did not recognize the woman as his wife. The child was born out of wedlock, and therefore, the father had no right to claim the child as his own.
