Perhaps the only convincing detail in the latter part of the book is the heroine's miserable end.
I have just given my heroine a pair of calm gray eyes, shaded with black lashes and hair to match. A voice floats down from the upstairs regions. "Dawn! Oh, Dawn! Just run and rescue the cucumbers out of the top of the ice-box, will you? The iceman's coming, and he'll squash 'em." A parting jab at my heroine's hair and eyes, and I'm off to save the cucumbers. Back at my typewriter once more.
Providence had placed in my hands the gist of your heroine's story. Hence this masquerade; hence the fact that you are here to-night. I have helped you help me in return." It was some time before Steel spoke. "It shall be as you wish," he said. "I will tell you how I propose to save my heroine. Her sufferings are fiction; yours will be real.
There came into her mind a whimsical comparison of her fate with that of the heroine in a French romance she had read long ago and remembered well, for she had cried over it. The story ended with the heroine's taking the veil after a death blow to love; and the final scene again became vivid to Alice, for a moment.
They invariably ended happily, with the father joining the hero's and heroine's hands and giving his blessing. Unfortunately, in the present case, that doesn't seem likely to happen."

If the horse has been too well trained for the heroine's purpose, 'some footpad, bandit fierce, or mountaineer, some jealous rival must make his appearance quite unexpectedly at the turn of a road, and the lady must be carried off robes flying hair streaming like Buerger's Leonora. Then her lover must come to her rescue just in the proper moment.
The play was deferred till the following term, and one or two slight comedies, which had been acted before, were revived in a hurry to take its place. VERY active preparations were being made in a certain rather humble little cottage in the country for the heroine's return.
She looked steadily in our heroine's face, and the latter thought that her countenance had an expression of severity mingled with its concern. "Arrowhead great warrior," said the Tuscarora's wife. "All the girls of tribe look at him much. The pale-face beauty has eyes too?" "June! what do these words that look imply? what would you say?" "Why you so 'fraid June shoot Arrowhead?"
"All right, Annekins, just one minute," and Judy dashed in a drowning sailor or two, fluffed the heroine's hair into entrancing curliness, added a few extra rays to the sparkling comb, and held up the sketch. "There," she said, triumphantly. Anne slid from the rock, and waded in to look. "It isn't a bit like me," she criticized, holding up her wet and flowing draperies.
