Identify the author of this passage:   He had said, after all, in the hubbub of parting: I am your father, I will never abandon you. He had said that, handn’t he, when he hugged and then let her go. But at the moment, Cleofilas was busy looking for Chelas, her maid of honor, to fulfill their bouquet conspiracy. She would not remember her father’s parting words until later. I am your father. I will not abandon you.
