It is partly Toni's resentment of this proposed bargain and partly Penelope's charm that make...

When Toni's grandmother died the doctor adopted him. Toni, reconciled with the crazy old man, gave him his demonstratedly unlethal telescope. Dr. Gion and Cynthia married, lived happily, and kept a parental eye on Toni and Emerence's orphan daughter...
