In France she had felt secure. The past with its poignant memories had been left hundreds of miles behind. Gaenor had married, and on her honeymoon in Paris, where she should have tasted the full cup of happiness, the old haunting past loomed up, shattering to bits any hope for happiness. Her husband had asked for an ex planation, but how could she explain anything? Hadn't he read the papers? Didn't he remember Gaenor Lisle? How could she ever hope to refute the evidence the court had linked with her name? How could she dispel the lingering doubt that would inevitably cling to her? Rather than attempt an explanation, Gaenor had left him. Soon she would be in London.
