Well, as might have been expected, this old scientific fellow, Colonel Maclean, takes a fancy to the girl and asks her to take the billet of secretary to him. She took it took it to help the old father who was getting shakier and shakier every day, and wanted all sorts of attention and nursing.
Jenny! sweet and true and good and dear as ever, if only you would just take a sudden fancy for someone else! Meanwhile the months were going by, and the day drawing nearer when, for a brief moment of fire, the orbits of those two separated lives were to touch once more. What of Isabel during these months?
