However, life has more surprises in store for her. Rested, clean, and well-fed, it seems that at last she can focus on her future with Sir Henry Falkner. Despite the best efforts of both human and inhuman foes to kill her, she manages to board a small steam ship bound for Texas where she happily reunites with her family.
