Nurse in India

Can one bury the past? Put it behind one forever?

Nurse Stella Hantley, traveling in India as secretary-nurse to kind Miss Jellings, would have answered "Yes" to that question. She found it hard to believe that she had ever danced on the stage and dreamed of becoming a star; and the episode which had shattered her career was little more than a shadowy memory.

She was safe now and could reach out to take the happiness which Roger Fendish, she knew, was on the point of offering her—and then Allegra, lovely and treacherous, came suddenly back into her life, seeking for a second time to rob her of all she valued.
