When Jonathan walked into the pub, he saw Ben Abbott sitting down to a meal. He was starving himself, and thought that dinner would be a good time to go over what Ben had found out while on surveillance.

"Ben Abbott." Jonathan stood before Ben, who looked up from his meal, seemingly aggravated.

A look of recognition came across his face, and he shoved the fork full of food in his mouth. Wiping his lips with a napkin, he stood up and threw his hand out to meet Jonathan's.

"Jonathan Smith. Good to see you have arrived in one piece. Have a seat here and join me."

Ben beckoned the barmaid over to them.

"He'll have what I had," Ben commanded.

"All right, coming right up," the girl replied, with a wink and a shift of her hips.

"So tell me everything that you know so far, Abbott."

Ben began recounting everything that he had learned about Amelia. The fact that she owned the finishing school, and the fact that she was courting a man named Alfred Sharp who was an accountant for a local grocery store chain. Jonathan was waiting to hear more.

"That's it?"

Ben shrugged. "Yes. What else did you expect?"

"I don't know. Maybe she frequents evening social gatherings with other rich women. Or she spends her day shopping at all of the stores and boutiques. I was not expecting some do-gooder who does nothing out of the ordinary with her day."

The barmaid brought Jonathan's food, slid it onto the table in front of him, and walked away.

Before saying anything else, Jonathan dug in.

"Well, unfortunately, I think most people are not that interesting. And even though she is rich, she still has problems as well."

"What problems could a woman as rich as Amelia Smith possibly have?" Jonathan asked through a mouthful of potatoes.

"Mr. Alfred Sharp."

"The fiancé?"

Ben nodded.

"What could possibly be the issue with the fiancé?" Jonathan questioned.

"I'm not sure he is who he claims to be. He may not be the right person for Amelia."

Jonathan raised an eyebrow at Ben's comment. "What would that have to do with you, Abbott?"

Ben shook his head. "Nothing, actually. It's just that I came to find Amelia Smith for you and I guess when you find out about a person, you may discover more than you bargained for."

Jonathan shrugged. "I guess so. But now, all you have to do is give me the addresses and all of her information. I will go see her myself."

"You, my friend are free to do what you please. But I suggest you take me with you. I would hate for you to show up at a woman's doorstep, fuming with anger, claiming to be her half-brother all the way from Boston. If she called the law on you, there would be no one else to back you up or prove that you are not insane."

Banging his utensil against the plate, Jonathan clenched his jaw. He hated to admit that Ben could be right.

"All right, Abbott. You may have a point. According to her schedule, what
