Penelope and Adrian grow closer, and share much of their lives with one another.

Late at night, Adrian does research, gets on the computer, and delves into records. He discovers that the child Penelope couldn’t save had ADD, and that her parents, both brilliant engineers, refused to allow her to take medication and drilled it into their daughter’s head that if she had a problem concentrating, it was her fault, her failure to properly focus, her lack of discipline. They never told Penelope that their daughter had ADD. So the child was fighting ADD and, believing it was her problem, was too ashamed to admit to Penelope that she had it. Penelope is astonished and saddened when she learns this, and slowly starts to forgive herself.

As indicated earlier, Adrian is growing stronger (the curse is wearing down and Brunhilde is due for a visit). He fully manifests and Penelope finally sees him for the first time. He is splendid. He has no idea why he can be seen, but they both suspect he may finally be free of whatever was wrong. She is elated. They make love for the first time with him visible, and it is incredible. Penelope introduces her friend to the staff (although no one is really fooled).

Some weeks later, Penelope goes to meet Dinah at the university for a previously arranged meeting. It is a stormy day, with heavy rains and flash flooding in and around the valley that nestles Ballyhock.

When Penelope and Dinah don’t return by late evening, Adrian and the Gilchrists are frantic. They call a cab to go look for them, but the cabs aren’t running because the weather is so bad. Adrian takes off on foot into the storm. He goes down the valley, through the woods, to the edge of the property and crosses it, drawn by the beacon of headlights pointing skyward, and as he nears, he hears the sound of Dinah’s cries. He finds her with Penelope; a small flash flood had washed them over a slab and Penelope has been knocked unconscious.

As Adrian kneels beside Penelope, he starts to feel himself coming apart. He carries her back toward Lyssford, but he has been too long off the estate and is dissipating. When he gets her close to the house, she regains consciousness and sees that he is fading.

Suddenly, he disappears.
