Laurence really wanted to assist Miss Hale. Not only because he felt pity for anyone forced to act in a way that was anathema to him or her, but because he was beginning to realize how much he actually liked Miss Hale. Never having thought of her as other than a young girl since he’d met her when she was a mere child, his thinking had changed recently. First, when he’d realized she actually had bosoms and second, when she’d confessed her anguish at being forced to allow Hammond to court her.

Where those bosoms suddenly bloomed from was a mystery. It was like one day she was a flat-chested little girl with a big bow on her head annoying her father in the laboratory as Laurence smiled at her antics and then the next day, she was dressed in the fashion young ladies preferred today with perfectly rounded mounds peeking from the top of her gown.

He recalled with almost a feeling of shame that first day he’d noticed them. He’s almost dropped a beaker on the floor and a certain part of his anatomy reacted in such a way he’d had to step around to the back of the cabinet for a moment to recover himself.

After that day, Laurence pushed his physical attraction to her aside in the name of his work and tried to ignore her assets the best he could. Having never really gotten to know her as a person, he had no interest in pushing a relationship. After all, a lady could be attractive, but if there was nothing to talk about, what was the point in going forward?

Now here she was, in the laboratory in distress and worried about not only her own reaction to the lightning strike, but her father’s behavior and having a suitor thrust upon her. And what did she know about her father’s latest project?

“Let’s try to take your mind off Mr. Hammond and see about your overheating and what we can do about it.” Laurence stood and walked over to his battery set-up. “It will soon be time for Mr. Johnson to come in and then I have to go give a lecture.”

“What do you think will make it go away?”

“I’m not sure. It may take another shock of some sort.”

“Another shock?” She looked horrified at the thought.

“We won’t resort to that yet. I want to first see what other symptoms you have. What else you can do.”

“This is not something I want to develop as a skill, Mr. Fortescue. I would like to have it go away.”

“I understand, but first, we need to assess what exactly we’re dealing with.”

She stood and followed him to the end of the table. “I’m still fascinated by this experiment. Who knew electricity was related to magnets?”

“It was completely an accident that I found out. I’m excited to share the findings with the scientific community.”

“Oh, I almost forgot. Father asked me to take some notes for him. He’s so proud of your work.”

“I know and I’m grateful for his allowing me to use this facility.
