Okay, this starts right after Ilse runs away from her wedding to see the proclaimed "dead" Perry, and Emily is the only "creature left in the world with a grain of sense." Okay on with the show….
Chapter One: I Need A Ticket To Montreal!
Emily had never in her life been so upset with anyone. Of course, when Perry had kissed her at her aunts home she had been furious, to say the least, but for Ilse to walk out on Teddy Kent at their wedding ( it didn't matter whether it had started yet, it was their wedding day) to go see another man, chum he may be, was enraging! I must go somewhere else…
"Where are you going Emily, everyone is just about to eat"
"Oh, Aunt Elizabeth, I must go back home, to stay here and watch all these people, why it's absolutely maddening"
And then she walked out looking for all the world as calm as she could be, but inside, oh, inside she was a volcano about to erupt. She didn't even stay for the rebuke that she knew would come from Aunt Elizabeth. Soon she came upon Lofty John's bush…. Her bush really, and sat down and screamed. Oh, how good it felt just to get all the built up pension of the last few weeks off of her chest.
Teddy jumped 'What on earth was that scream? Everyone I can think of is at the…. wedding.' He thought of it with distaste. He walked towards the bush… 'It sounded as if it came from the tomorrow road. I must stop thinking of it as anything other than Lofty John's bush, it will only keep reminding me of her.' His eyes softened a bit. What am I thinking? I was all ready to be married to Ilse, but it's just as well that we didn't go on with the ceremony…. not that I really had a say in it…. he stopped, there sat the girl of his thoughts, and his dreams. Emily Byrd Starr. She was saying something…. "Now I suppose I should get back to the wedding, Aunt Elizabeth will kill me if I don't, and I do feel a sight better now that I've got that off of my chest."
'That was her'….. Teddy ran off before she could see him. 'I must get back to Montreal.' He went and packed his clothes and went to the train station for the next train to Montreal " No matter how many stops enroute it has to make, if it comes near Montreal, I want the ticket"
The ticket master looked at him like he was crazy. "Okay sir, here's your ticket."
