When the young commander of the guard declared his love for her, she rejected him simply because his frivolity startled her. "See how simple he is," she told Amaranta. "He says that he’s dying because of me, as if I were a bad case of colic."

Happy (belated) birthday Ms. Evans Spells. Her name is actually pronounced as "Corinne Evans Spells". She was married twice and chose to use both of her married surnames.
She uses both surnames in some records and not in others. I have seen records for her with "Corinne E. Spells", "Corinne Spells", "Corinne Evans", and "Corinne Evans Spells".
Happy belated birthday, Mrs. Spells!

@musicotic Similarly, my great-great-grandmother’s grave lists her two married names, and she is buried next to the second and above the first. Her death certificate lists her as “Bess W. Jones” (maiden name was Walcott). She was married to Mr. Kendall from 1904 to his death in 1919, and to Mr. Jones from 1922 to his death in 1970, 9 months before she died.
