Some time later Horace wrote a detective story that so fascinated Gwendoline's father that he asked the author to find his daughter, from whom he had not heard in a year, offering a reward of $50,000 to Horace if he succeeded, and little knowing that the author was his son-in-law. Horace consulted Gwendoline and she announced that if her father missed her that badly, she would go to see him. Horace decided to accompany her, figuring that it would serve the old man right to be compelled to pay the reward because of his objections to him at the outset of the romance.
