Keetah's sister left her family with a man who promised to marry her... he did not, leaving her alone and penniless.

"The man didn't marry her. When she found out about the mask, she objected, I suppose. He left her in Vancouver, penniless, and he disap- peared. I don't suppose she'd ever seen a paved street, or a train, or a telephone. There was no place for her to go, no work she was trained to do. She drifted to the only place where she was wel- come."
