It was very soon after Ginevra found out she was pregnant that she was at the grocer's and caught Isabel stealing apples. She was only five at the time, a year younger than Giacomo, and so thin and dirty and frightened that Ginevra couldn't imagine anyone was taking care of her. She took her home with her, asking her her name, who and where her parents were, where home was. Her name was Isabel Jankins, she said, and she didn't have parents any more. No one in town knew her, so Orlando began asking around the town nearby. It turns out the girl had come from a small town ten miles away. Her parents had died, and no one in town could care for her so they were taking her to an orphanage. She had run away when they stopped in the De Fiore's town. When Orlando and Ginevra heard her story, they began talking it over and decided to adopt her themselves. Isabel became part of the family only a few months before Matteo Cesare, the last baby in the De Fiore family, arrived.
