Looking back over the first twenty-

The irreconcilable mingling of two backgrounds had made her, more than other people, sensitive to the lives of those around her.

She remembered parties, excursions, her school days, her love affair with Harry Collins.

It was Merek Vance who rescued her from her ter-rible plight, encouraged her and taught her to face life and solve her own problems squarely and honestly. And now it was to Merek Vance that she looked for happiness on the morrow.
