Though he longs to tell her of his feelings, he's afraid he'll be rebuffed since she's years his senior. Will Helen still think of him as the lad who followed her around when they were young? Will it advance his suit if he helps her fund the bluestocking house, or is he still hiding behind conventions while courting an unconventional lady?
