Girls are instinctively intelligent in matters of love. Jessie knew that someone was following her. At first she tried to evade him. When she realized that the man was determined, she began to like her. She thought he would talk to her. But when he did not, she liked him all the more. When Pescud met her and told her why he had followed her so far, she was amused.

She told him: ‘Men are very clumsy… I know you were on every train. I thought you were going to speak to me, and I’m glad you didn’t.’

The remark of Jessie clearly reveals that she knew all along that she was being chased by someone.
