Chapter 20 - THE COLLECTION BECOMES HERS

At sixteen, Commonwealth began involving Lila directly in archive decisions.

Not full legal control yet.

Voice.

Would she continue museum loans?

Yes.

Would she acquire new pieces?

Maybe.

Would she sell duplicates?

“Yes. Shoes need space.”

Eleanor would have approved.

At twenty-one, broader control passed under the trust terms.

Lila sold nine pairs.

Kept twenty-seven.

Donated three to Halcyon.

Used proceeds from sales for graduate school later.

Not a sacred inheritance.

A useful one.
