She knew whereof she spoke, for it was literally by a breath that she had escaped being called Mississippi. Imagine Mississippi Ravenal! she often said, in later years. Theyd have cut it to Missy, I suppose, or even Sippy, if you can bear to think of anything so horrible. And then Id have had to change my name or give up the stage altogether.

Her mother insists that she wasnt.

Her accouchement had been an ordeal even more terrifying than is ordinarily the case, for Kim Ravenal had actually been born on the raging turgid bosom of the Mississippi River itself, when that rampageous stream was flooding its banks and inundating towns for miles around, at five oclock of a storm-racked April morning in 1889.
