Joy Runs High

The beauty of the Lake District -- the sparkling waterfalls, the sheer cliffs, the breathtaking views that had inspired poets -- all failed to shake Meg's reveries. Her heart beat a little faster. She actually blushed. Her she was, the practical one, falling for a man beyond her grasp. Dr. Neill Thirstoe, the young physicist, had come to her family's modest hotel to make a decision. Would he take the lucrative post in the States or remain in England? Neill -- so educated, so worldly-wise. Yet he dealt out charm and kisses like a cavalier! It wasn't fair -- not to Bob Franklyn, who had loved her so long ... who would probably love her forever. But if Neill knew how she felt -- if he only knew!

Hero: Dr./Doctor Neill Thirstoe
