Silver Fire

As invalid's life was not what gay, beautiful Vanessa Arden had planned for herself, and even the breathtakingly lovely Swiss mountains could not compensate for the life of inactivity that to Vanessa spelt only boredom. Her cousin Fern had her work cut out to make Vanessa observe even a minimum of the rules that Dr. Delavel had laid down, and when the consequences of Vanessa's rash behavior caught up with her, Dr. Delavel's shrewd, searching, so-attractive eyes naturally rested reproachfully on Fern. Indeed, so desperate did the situation become that Fern despaired that those eyes would ever look at her with anything but cold contempt. But miracles sometimes happen, even to poor relations like gentle, pretty Fern.
