OUR DILEMMA.
WHO is the young lady?
And how did she find her way into The Glen Tower?
Her name (in relation to which I shall have something more to say a little further on) is Jessie Yelverton.

She is an orphan and an only child.

Her mother died while she was an infant; her father was my dear and valued friend, Major Yelverton.

He lived long enough to celebrate his darling's seventh birthday.
