"What I want you to do for me, Philip, is this: I want you to take Lilliaway from this house, away from this place, I want you to arrange for her togo to England... Your mother could help her as she did the girl Judith... "To Doctor Philip Wayne, this last request, written by his great friendStanislav, before Stanislav was taken away by the sevret police, wassomething that could not be refused. There were considerable difficultiesin the way, but Philip determined to bring his friend's sister to England -even though to make it possible, he must marry her.

The situation was certainly complicated if Lilli,the little cripple girl, should also fall in love with the same man asJudith.
