Harry suspected that he mistook them for sweethearts; they looked near enough in age. He didn’t disillusion the man; he rather liked being seen as the beau of such an attractive, self-assured young woman. Elizabeth kept a tight grip on Harry’s arm as they made their way between the piles of packing crates.

He opened a metal door on the side to show her the boiler. “You see, it has both a kerosene burner and a firebox, which can be fueled with almost anything, from coal to corncobs.”
