This young Thorpe trusted the fair and beautiful Anne.

He set out to make a name and fortune for himself and for her.

He sought knowledge and experience in distant lands, leaving his poor old grandfather at home with nothing to amuse himself with except nine millions of dollars and his dread of death.

While Braden was experimenting in London, this doddering, senile old gentleman of Washington Square began to experiment a little on his own account.

He set out to discover just what sort of stuff this Anne Tresslyn was made of and to prove to himself that she was worthy of his grandson's love.
