Unsurprisingly Days marriage plans did not run smoothly. Having returned one orphan early on his girl of choice Sabrina Sidney would also fall foul of the experiment. From then on she led a difficult life inhabiting a curious half-world
- an ex-orphan & not quite a ward; a governess & not quite a fiancee.
