When Anson English arrives seeking treatment in the bath houses that make up the core of the reserve, Heather is drawn to the man in the wheelchair and watches his progress toward healing. But when she discovers his role in preventing Hot Springs citizens from owning their property, she feels betrayed. Can she ever forgive him, or will the conflict divide them forever?

Everyone liked Sergeant Joe. From the huge jolly Beavis family with whom he had lodgings in Newington Butts, to Mr George Singleton, Charing Cross Road bookseller, who employed Joe in a little lucrative and harmless forgery, Sergeant Joe was a univeral favourite. Quite a few people wondered why he didn't get married. But it wasn't until he bumped into Dolly Smith - quite literally in a London pea-souper - that he met a girl who made an impression on him.
