Elusive Lady // Dr. Colin's Obsession

~~~ first published 1946 ~ original title "Elusive Lady"

Doctor Colin Keen had fallen in love with an elusive lady -- a lady in a portrait -- and his constant hope was that he would one day find the original.

Helen Fairway had a hope too -- that someday Doctor Colin would see in her more than just a very efficient and sometimes indispensable addition to his surgery.

Then chances of Helen's wish ever coming true seemed remote indeed in view of the doctor's dedication to his work and his obsession with finding the girl of the portrait.
