[The trains were never forgotten, but the extent of their influence only came to light with the arrival of the internet and the subsequent flowering of genealogical research. This obsession with roots will be felt especially keenly by foundlings, who often have no way of exploring their family histories.] I notice that genealogical sites now have warnings on them saying people should be ready for little surprises, ... They're not all going to find themselves descended from King Henry VIII or Richard Cur de Lion or Wellington. This is rather strange because it was pretty taken for granted a few generations ago that families had all kinds of little moments where things had gone not according to the book. It was just one of those things. You tried to accommodate it. There was no social welfare. You just had to sort it out within villages, the families, the parish. Children went to the workhouse, but people knew about it. Nowadays, there's a kind of surprise that these cases were so commonplace.

[Ms. Andersen, who couldn't afford to live on campus, remembered meeting other commuters at their cars at the moment members of the Alameda County Police force stormed up the avenue toward them. The National Guard closed in from the other direction, and overhead, a helicopter [hovered over] the assembled group.] I thought, 'How did we come to this?' ... I witnessed what I thought was the hypocrisy of some of those protests.
