Three men arrested in armed robbery
Updated On: Feb 17 2014 05:25:33 AM EST
Three men were arrested in connection with an armed robbery at a Kangaroo convenience store in St. Augustine on Sunday night, according to the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office.
The robbery was reported at 8:30 p.m. at the Kangaroo on Wildwood Drive and U.S. 1.
Two men entered the store and one of them had a handgun, according to SJCSO. They took an undisclosed amount of cash and cigarettes and fled.
"Deputies responding to the area almost immediately spotted the suspects leaving the trailer park nearby and the vehicle was traveling westbound on Wildwood Drive. Deputy gave pursuit," said Kevin Kelshaw with the SJCSO.
The driver refused to stop and sped away, deputies said.
Deputies pursued the suspects' vehicle and deployed stop sticks in the area of Cheyenne Drive.
"Around the Coronado neighborhood, one of the females was thrown out of the suspects' vehicle. We put stop sticks on the vehicle around the Treaty Park area. The suspect vehicle was PIT'ed by the deputy's car which ended up in the driveway, almost to 207," said Kelshaw.
The three suspects fled on foot into a heavily wooded area and two were captured quickly.
One of the captured suspects, Tyrus Kornegy, 28, sustained a gunshot wound to the back, believed to have been accidental from one of the other suspects during the pursuit.
Kornegy was transported to UF Health by air ambulance with life-threatening injuries.
The second captured suspect, Deshawn Perkins, 23, complained of chest pains and was transported to Flagler Hospital.
The third suspect, Marcus Trumbly, was captured shortly after 1 a.m. Monday off Wildwood Drive.
The suspects are facing multiple charges as the investigation continues.

No. 24 Notre Dame beats South Florida 73-65
South Florida saw its upset bid dashed after a rough second half against No. 24 Notre Dame.
Associated Press
South Florida saw its upset bid dashed after a rough second half against No. 24 Notre Dame.
Jerian Grant scored 18 points and Tom Knight had 17 as Notre Dame beat South Florida 73-65 on Saturday.
Zach LeDay had 17 points and Anthony Collins added 12 for South Florida (10-9, 1-6 Big East). Collins had 10 points in the first half when the Bulls grabbed a 35-28 lead.
"Once they got momentum going second half, we just couldn't get it back," South Florida coach Stan Heath said.
Notre Dame used a 20-3 run to go ahead 48-40 with 13 minutes to play. Pat Connaughton's 3-pointer broke a 40-all tie before Knight dunked and Grant connected on a 3 to make it 48-40.
Knight, a 6-foot-10 senior, made his first start of the season. It was his first career double-digit scoring game.
The Fighting Irish played without sixth-year forward Scott Martin, who is out indefinitely with a bad left knee.
Eric Atkins added 13 points and Connaughton contributed 12 for Notre Dame (16-4, 4-3), which had lost three of four, including a 63-47 home loss to Georgetown last Monday.
"Just coming on the road, getting away is definitely something that we needed," Grant said. "It just helps our focus get back there, where we needed it to be."
Notre Dame forward Jack Cooley, who entered averaging 14.8 points, finished with six points and 14 rebounds.
South Florida got within 52-48 midway through the second half on LeDay's basket. Notre Dame responded by scoring the next six points, a three-point play by Grant and a 3-pointer by Atkins.
Victor Rudd gave South Florida a 37-28 lead with a dunk on the first possession of the second half.
Collins' three-point play tied it at 28 4 minutes before intermission.
"We talked about 20 ways of how we're going to deal with him in the ball screen," Notre Dame coach Mike Brey said. "He just keeps putting pressure on you, getting into the lane deeper and deeper. If we didn't fix that, we would have lost by 15. I love him. He's a fearless guy. There's no one else like him in our league."
Toarlyn Fitzpatrick hit a long-range jumper, JaVontae Hawkins had a tip-in and Rudd made a jumper that put the Bulls up 35-28 in the final minute of the half.
"Great first half," Heath said. "We really shot the ball well. Played well as a team. Our zone was really effective in the first half and that gave us the stops we needed to keep momentum going."
Notre Dame took a 24-18 lead on Connaughton's rebound basket with 8 minutes left in the opening half. The Fighting Irish failed to score during the first-half's final 5 minutes.

Score distribution:
Positive: 15 out of 68
Mixed: 44 out of 68
Negative: 9 out of 68
The game makes you feel like a real spy, complete with all the research-based legwork. In those respects, there are few games like it. Whether or not you like Alpha Protocol is probably going to depend on your proclivity for spy lore itself. But if you've ever wanted to be a secret agent, you could do a hell of a lot worse.
Alpha Protocol reminds me of old Troika RPG's: the setting and ideas are great, but the technical execution is a bit flawed. Still, if you can look past the ugly exterior it's a fun experience. [June 2010]
Alpha Protocol does offer some nice role-playing opportunities with an interesting story and plenty of different ways to optimize your character. It's unfortunate the gameplay mechanics hurt things as much as they did as this could very well have been the next big RPG franchise.
The tragedy of Alpha Protocol is that, hidden behind the mass of technical failings is a superb action RPG bristling with choice and driven by some inspired storytelling.
In Alpha Protocol it becomes apparent that Obsidian had lofty goals for what they wanted to achieve, and when playing it also becomes apparent how poorly they managed to execute on the individual parts. Despite being inherently flawed there are still a number of hours of entertainment to be found here. Just don't expect a polished triple A title.
Yes, Alpha Protocol is quite ugly and poorly animated. It also suffers from some gameplay mechanics oddities. But even with its repulsive looks, it managed to hook me in through several play-throughs, thanks to a decent story, carefully written dialog with finesse and humor, and this strong sense of actually influencing the destiny of my character as well as those of the ones around him. The espionage atmosphere, with its conspiracies and modern touch, is well rendered, and if you're a customer for an RPG with a contemporary setting, with a Mass Effect inspired game design, you may very well enjoy it as much as I did. One can't help but dream at what Alpha Protocol could have been, helmed by a team with more resources to address its shortcomings.
Flawed in its conception, impoverished in its design, and thoroughly inept in its execution, Alpha Protocol is an unmitigated disaster
Score distribution:
Positive: 20 out of 32
Mixed: 5 out of 32
Negative: 7 out of 32
Aug 30, 2012The most critically underrated game of all time. Complex story, great skill upgrades, unique characters, awesome weapon customization, tons of perks, choices matter greatly, fun gadgets, decent voices, etc. Only negative is slightly imperfect gameplay and a lot of menu surfing. If your a dues ex, stealth, or rpg fan its a must-buy. If you think call of duty is the greatest game of all time just because of high production value and spiffy gameplay/graphics you might be someone who won't like the game because it is not some simple run and gun shootfest and requires intelligence, reading skills, and a decent memory to be successful at it.… Expand
Apr 27, 2013Alpha Protocol at its core is a brilliant and daringly original attempt at bringing something new to the RPG/Action genre. Certainly, the game has some major flaws, low quality graphics, occasional glitches and poor balancing when it comes to weapons and combat skills....BUT! If you can see passed this you will find a gem of a game. The conversation systems is unparralled in my books, offering branching directions in story, peoples reactions and more, all depending on the approach you take. You genuinely feel that your every decision and action has an effect. Its a real shame SEGA are unlikely to get a second shot at realising a more polished sequel. A great shame, that originality is rebuked while rehashing the same old FPS and game model is rewarded.… Expand
Dec 12, 2012As a shooter this game fails miserably. But as a stealth/espionage game it's very good. Lucky for me, I dislike shooters, and love stealth games. So for me this game was great. I loved the dialogue system, I loved the characters, settings where really pretty. Such a shame that it has gotten such a bad reputation among the professional reviewer community. I really do hope for a sequel one, perhaps with a developer that might give it the attention it deserves.… Expand
Aug 17, 2011When I first heard of this game I was thrilled. Secret agent, RPG elements, choices and action. What could a veteran RPG player want more? ... Alpha Protocol nails it on the RPG elements. You have an incredible amount of choices that realy impact the story progression. Actions make your character even develop differently, for example... if you use alot of incendiary grenades, you'll get a perk for them that makes you either better in using them or improve the general stats. But this game also has some serious flaws. The combat is crap, you'll die numerous times just because the A button doesn't command your character as it should, and you'll end in plain sight instead of being in cover. Most of the time the shooting is uncontrollable, as it will make you wish even more you have the automatic targeting from Splinter Cell Conviction. ... ///POSITIVE: Interesting characters who have reputation depending on your actions. - Good story. - Great RPG elements. ///NEGATIVE: Plain graphics. - Weak combat system. - Bugs.. lot's of them. ///CONCLUSION -> Alpha Protocol is still a game any RPG fan should have tried to play at least once, but will mostly knock 90% of the players back towards another game before they even reach the ending.… Expand
Apr 5, 2012dissapointing spy sim with some boring moments. When it does shine it does not last. this truly is a average game. graphics dull too. Bad presentation and terrible voice acting. even the choices you make arent really giving u a feel of importance. bad game… Expand
Oct 6, 2010I desperately wanted to like this game! Reiterating the comments of the first reviewer and countless other reviews I've read, the game is plagued with bugs. To the point where I was so confused because firing a gun at the target in your cross hairs didn't necessarily mean you were going to hit them. I had a lot of fun with the game in the tutorial where you are introduced to the RPG aspects of the game (which is the portion I was particularly interested in). There was so much potential here.
Here's to hoping Sega can take this game and turn a sequel into a more polished experience.… Expand

Esquire magazine has named Corbett's: An American Place one of the twenty Best New Restaurants. The November edition which hits newsstands next week finds Corbett's sharing the company of Scampo in Boston; Mercat a la Planxa and Takashi in Chicago; Spruce in San Francisco; and Bar Boulud in New York among others on the list.
Esquire doesn't have the article online yet so I'm going to quote from the press release the Corbett's folks sent you.
"I feel so fortunate to have been able to bring my vision to the historic Von Allman mansion," said Corbett. "We've built on a foundation of Kentucky history and my amazing staff works wonders with Southern hospitality and top-quality ingredients to make every meal memorable. Our patio, downstairs wine room and state-of-the-art interactive tasting room are all elements that I think set Corbett's apart, and I am thrilled that Esquire has acknowledged our unique dining experience."
Esquire writer John Mariani traveled across the country in search of the best dining experiences, weighing cuisine, service and ambiance. Mariani praises Corbett's for the stylish restoration of the over 150-year-old mansion that houses the restaurant and for chef de cuisine Chris Howerton's balance of locally informed and international flavor. Mariani was particularly impressed with the hot-and-cold foie gras with plums and Southern Comfort gastrique and "Vietnamese Coffee", a chocolate mousse dessert with condensed milk, espresso jelly and cinnamon meringue."
I have yet to make it out to Corbett's but this just confirms that I need to save up my pennies so I can have dinner there.

The world's most popular search engine was falsely identified by Microsoft as malware for four hours on Valentine's Day due to a faulty software security update, leaving many frustrated Internet Explorer users unable to access Google.
The false positive affected searchers in the U.S., Middle East, Australia, New Zealand, and Denmark, according to ZDNet. Complaints quickly poured in on forums from people who updated Microsoft's Forefront and Security Essentials. Google was labeled as a "severe" threat due to being infected with the Blackhole Exploit Kit – a nasty sounding exploit developed in Russia that allows hackers to target Windows users.
"On February 14, 2012, an incorrect detection for Exploit:JS/Blacole.BW was released," Microsoft said in a statement to SecurityNewsDaily. "We provided an update to addresses the issue (signature versions 1.119.1988.0 and higher) on the same day. We apologize for the confusion this may have caused our customers."
Not quite worthy of being called a St. Valentine's Day tech massacre, but this isn't the first time Microsoft's security programs have had issues with Google. Google's Chrome browser was deleted from about 3,000 users' computers without permission due to what was called an "incorrect detection" last September.

"What makes this version Caribbean is the use of vegetables found more commonly in the Caribbean. DH is from Colombia and has never heard of some of these ingredients. I've provided several options as far as the vegetables go so you can use whatever you can find. Green plantain, yautia, yucca root, potatoes all have a neutral taste. The yellow platain, sweet potato, batata, and squash are slightly sweet. I don't know if you have a secret way to cut the corn into rounds, but I find that I have to cook the corn first to soften the cob. I add it add serving time."

"This had a great flavor - although I did need to add some salt and pepper. It was an interesting mix of veggies that I wasn't sure we would like, but was pleasantly surprised with the finished meal. My rib meat didn't get tender, so I pulled it out and diced it, and then let it simmer for 15 minutes longer, which made a huge difference. For ZWT9"

Report: Nemanja Nedovic fractures foot training for FIBA World Cup
Golden State Warriors guard Nemanja Nedovic sustained a stress fracture in his right foot, according to a report from the Bay Area News Group. Nedovic was training with the Serbian National Team for the upcoming FIBA World Cup.
Nedovic reportedly sustained the injury in a Sunday exhibition game against Bosnia. From the Bay Area News Group report:
"A team doctor told Mondo.rs that Nedovic would return to Belgrade for an MRI exam on what's believed to be a fracture of the fifth metatarsal, adding that he would need to have it immobilized for three to four weeks if the fracture is confirmed."
More: Resiliency defines Paul George
Nedovic was a first-round pick in 2013 whom the Warriors acquired in a draft day trade with the Phoenix Suns. He appeared in just 24 games last season, and averaged 1.1 points and 5.9 minutes per contest. Nedovic got more playing time in Summer League in July, averaging 9.4 points, 2.2 assists and 2.0 rebounds per game.
On Monday's SI Now, Sports Illustrated senior writers Chris Mannix and Phil Taylor re-rank the Eastern Conference after Indiana Pacers star Paul George's injury.

Watch: the worst things that have happened to me at Cannes
Maurice Lévy, the chief executive of Publicis Groupe, Michael Roth, the chief executive of Interpublic, and Rémi Babinet, the chairman of BETC, tell Campaign about their worst Cannes experiences.
Losing, swimming in your underpants, being "stuck" with "boring" journalists and partying in the "gutter bar" until 3am, are just some of the worst things about Cannes Lions, according to adland figures in the video above.
Lévy explains that the worst thing that happens to him every year is that he is stuck in meetings and not able to enjoy the beach, while Roth says the time his visit to the "gutter bar" made it into the press was the lowest point.
Video produced by Jennifer Creighton and Georgina Brazier.

- Good food, quiet ambiance, splendid view.MRM1Dined on 11/20/2014The food is generally good, not outstanding. Service is very good. Not a noisy place. The few is amongst the best.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LeMonte ReviewstrawberryDined on 11/20/2014The service here is incredible. Everyone serving us was warm and friendly, which was nice on our fourth anniversary. The views are breath taking. The ambience is magnificent. The food unfortunately is awful though. Very awful. This is the worst food I have eaten in my life. I ordered a sweetpotato gnoccii, which was so caramalized, that it was actually sweeter than my dessert (it was literally covered in syrup and coated with thin slices of caramalized almonds). This was followed by a mediocre, cold creme brulee. I can't believe that such a nice restaurant could have such a chef! I think that if LeMonte gets a new chef that is good at cooking, they could become much busier and prominent in the Pittsburgh area. My fiance at a duck with was very sweet, and he was dissatisfied with the dish as well. When he asked his colleagues at UPMC what they thought of the restaurant, they all agreed that LeMonte has very friendly service with amazing views and ambience, but the food is lacking (and has been the weakness of the restaurant for a long time). Until there is a new chef, we will not be coming back. No one wants to pay $150 for food that is so strange that they could make a better meal at home.Special Features:
- Terrible FoodLynneVIPDined on 11/14/2014The food at our dinner was so dreadful that it was inedible. I have had far better food at a local diner. The food was also too salty and cold. The decor was tacky and the live performers in the bar were comical. The view is excellent, but there are better dining options with the same view. If you have relatives or business colleagues who are thinking of moving to Pittsburgh and you want to discourage the move, take them to Le Mont and tell them it has the best food in town. They wil be horrified. This restaurant needs a new menu, remodeling and a new chef. The service was good and the valet parking was convenient. We will never return.

- DisappointingOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 11/8/2014The only thing this restaurant has going for it is the spectacular view. Definitely not the service or quality of food we expected for a five star restaurant.Special Features:
- First visitIronmanDined on 11/7/2014Our first dining experience at LeMont was Friday, 7 November 2014. My wife was in town for a conference and we decided to try the restaurant based on what others had told us. While nothing is easy to get to in Pittsburgh, a cab got us there quickly and at a reasonable expense. It was a nice dining experience and one should note the dress is higher than business casual. When all the waitstaff have tuxedos, you need to dress appropriately. The service was excellent, the food was mediocre. I expected much more from a restaurant as expensive as the LeMont. The view was spectacular and worth the visit. I highly recommend a visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great view, terrible foodOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/7/2014Calamari was rubbery and little taste, entre' steak was acceptable, but potatoe was horrible, vegetables barely edible. Even dessert was bad, which is hard to mess up sweets!Special Features:
- A special experienceNoDouttDined on 11/5/2014Food was excellent. Our server, Tom, was attentive and amiable. Clear and sparkling night for the view. All made our special dinner even more special.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect!!!happydinerDined on 11/2/2014We ate at LeMont to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. It was a beautiful night to see the city, the food was amazing and the service wonderful. LeMont is also where our daughter, nephew and cousin had their wedding receptions. They have no problem taking care of either 2 or 200 people.

- Elegant and romanticGeorgeDined on 10/18/2014Memories of great dining experiences at LeMont go back many, many years to the 1970's even before 1997 when were engaged and a few months later married there. LeMont has always been a special place. The view is unmatched and the staff is first class. Our favorite is the Caesar salad which is the best we have had anywhere and we travel extensively. We are also very fond of the Chateaubriand or the Steak Diane although at our most recent dining experience there we ordered salmon and grouper dishes respectively which were both very good. Thanks to Michael, our waiter, whose friendly attention did much to make it yet another memorable experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- A Special Evening2toDineDined on 10/10/2014The interior and the view are spectacular! The valet service made parking a breeze at a most reasonable price. Our waitstaff were attentive, knowledgeable, and very concerned that we were enjoying our evening. Our appetizers (pumpkin ravioli and calamari) were delicious and special, as was our dessert- crepes Suzette's- prepared with skill at table side. Entrees were tasty and beautifully presented. We were celebrating an occasion and happy we did it here!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Brilliant NightcolhoopDined on 10/5/2014I wanted to do something very special for my lovely girlfriend Sunday night and a friend of mine recommended LeMont for our night out. We drove an hour and ten minutes to get there and I was blown away by the decor on our way in. Also the service was very splendid and the food very good. Overall, we were both left with a night to remember and a view of Pittsburgh's skyline we will never forget.Special Features:
- Out of town dinner2foodiesDined on 9/27/2014This was my second time at Le Mont, and I just love this restaurant. Two years ago we stumbled in to this place during the afternoon and asked to place a reservation for 9 and to have a window table. They accommodated with such attention. I knew we were visiting again and jumped on Open table to make a reservation as I did not want to miss another great meal. They once again preformed with fling stars. The view is stunning as well as the decorations. The food is exquisite, presentation is perfect. Oh and be sure to leave room for dessert.Special Features:

- Pittsburgh StaplepittsburghfanDined on 9/13/2014The LeMont has been around for years. The food is good with scenic views of the city. The dining area could use an update, but considering how long the LeMont has been around, they must be doing something right.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great view, ok foodJimADined on 9/11/2014I grew up in Pittsburgh and remember the LeMont from the late 60's and 70's (as a place too expensive for my family to eat at.) We were in town for a day of tourism and took the Duguesne Incline up Mt Washington and walked a block to the LeMont, that's a nice way to visit. It was a quiet Thursday night (the Steelers were playing Baltimore and it was a little overcast.) Service was very good - friendly, prompt and attentive. They had a reasonable wine list, and some nice choices by the glass. I had a special of filet mignon tournadoes and it was well prepared. My spouse had a pork chop special but didn't care for it for lack of any particular flavor. Without the view wouldn't be good value, but its a fantastic view.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- It was a special night!MoebiusDined on 9/7/2014Our server was so very nice and prepared Steak Diane table side. It was superb! Attention to detail was great. He helped us celebrate our Wedding Anniversary in style! Brought cake slice (delicious chocolate with mousse) with a candle in it. Perfect night. Our car was waiting for us outside at valet before we had to call for it. 💙Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Worth every pennyHeatherDined on 9/6/2014LeMont is a Pittsburgh treasure - outstanding food, service and a view that takes your breath away! It is my favorite place to take folks visiting from out of town, and one of the best ways to experience what makes this city so special. The chateaubriand is incredible, and I love the bananas foster prepared at your table. The servers are gracious, professional, and really know how to make your evening out an unforgettable experience. Great place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experienced; then FORCED OUT4orcedoutVIPDined on 9/6/2014Great dining experience with an incredible view of the Pittsburgh area. Unfortunately it was ruined in the last 10-minutes of our dining experience. We had an amazing and expensive dinner, plus even had time to discuss a little business as we looked out the scenic windows, but apparently our "window table" was needed!! We were basically told "your table is needed for another party and you have to leave"!! Unreal..! So if you go on Saturday and eat early -- remember to EAT FAST!! BTW - When we were exiting the front door, there was no one waiting in the lobby!!Special Features:
- Memorable dining with friendsOpenTable Diner Since 2004Dined on 9/5/2014For a group of friends visiting from out of state, LeMont was a very unique place for dinner. The food was outstanding, the wine was superb, the music was fantastic, and the entire atmosphere with the beautiful view and lovely music was a perfect place to get together and have enjoyable conversations with good friends. The atmosphere was very friendly and helpful for the most part. The table service could have been slightly more attentive in our opinion. The six of us really loved the experience overall and definitely would try to come back if we were visiting Pittsburgh again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Birthday DinnerContentDinerDined on 8/31/2014We went to the LeMont for our daughter's 30th Birthday. We had a lovely time. Our server, Brandon, was very attentive and made our experience great. The noise was a little high at times since we were near the bar ,and a few of the people at the bar, were a little loud. We definitely would recommend and go back, since this was just a few moments.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Visit to LeMontdavidDined on 8/30/2014We had a remarkable 44th wedding anniversary at LeMont. Located at the top of the Duquesne Incline. The entire ride up and view of Pittsburgh on a clear summer evening was wonderful. Great service and personal attention from Guy and Scott. Live music appropriate to the experience and of course the opulent decor. Excellent steaks and table side Caesar salads. They called for a car service after dinner that inexpensively returned us to our downtown hotel.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First VisitJEDDDined on 8/30/2014Everything was great with the exception of having an 8:30 reservation and being told to go to the bar to wait. There were several others waiting there ahead of us. We sat there until 9:10 until we were finally seated. Our server, Marco, was awesome and everything was amazing once we actually got to our table.Special Features:

- Classy Le Mont!MichaelDined on 8/23/2014This was my first visit @ the Le Mont. I had a reservation for 830 and we didn't get seated till approx 9 which was fine because they gave me a window seat as I requested. The restaurant is very classy with good energy. The views of the city are outstanding. A great wine list and the food was excellent. They had live music that night which was great and our waiter was happy to take multiple photos of us. Overall a great dining experience with excellent food and service. I highly recommend.Special Features:
- It's all about the viewOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/23/2014The food was good, but not quite good enough to justify the high-end pricing. The decor and service were suitable for a high-end restaurant, but both are rather faded and care-worn. It brings to mind something that's been trapped in time and slowly decaying. In the end, it's all about the view from the huge windows that overlook the city. If you want to celebrate a special occasion, you could do worse, but gourmands should look elsewhere.Special Features:
- FantasticRickDined on 8/21/2014An elegant restaurant with superb food with a killer view of Pittsburgh. The service was impeccable with professional waiters that took care of all our needs. I have dined all over the US and Europe and this restaurant moved right into my top ten favorites.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Julia Gracey has always lived by the rule that women should stand on their own two feet. But whenever there's a problem, Professor Gerard van der Maes always seems to be on hand with the perfect solution! Gerard seems determined to steal Julia's heart--yet she's just as adamant that he won't take over her life. But when Julia is about to lose her home, Gerard offers one final proposition that she finds impossible to resist--marriage!
Julia Gracey has always lived by the rule that women should stand on their own two feet. But whenever there's a problem, Professor Gerard van der Maes always seems to be on hand with the perfect solution! Gerard seems determined to steal Julia's heart--yet she's just as adamant that he won't take over her life. But when Julia is about to lose her home, Gerard offers one final proposition that she finds impossible to resist--marriage!
The street, like hundreds of other streets in that part of London, was shabby but genteelly so, for the occupants of the small turn-of-the-century houses which lined it had done their best; there were clean net curtains at the windows and the paintwork was pristine, even if badly in need of a fresh coat. Even so, the street was dull under a leaden sky and slippery with the cold sleet.
The girl, Ruth, looking out of the window of one of the houses, frowned at the dreary view and said over her shoulder, 'I don't think I can bear to go on living here much longer '
'Well, you won't have to—Thomas will get the Senior Registrar's post and you'll marry and be happy ever after.'
The speaker who answered, Julia, was kneeling on the shabby carpet, pinning a paper pattern to a length of material. She was a pretty girl, with a quantity of russet hair tied back carelessly with a bootlace, a tip-tilted nose and a wide mouth. Her eyes under thick brows were grey, and as she got to her feet it was apparent that she was a big girl with a splendid figure.
She wandered over to the window to join her sister. 'A good thing that Dr Goodman hasn't got a surgery this morning; you've no need to go out.'
'The evening surgery will be packed to the doors '
They both turned their heads as a door opened and another girl, Monica, came in. A very beautiful girl, almost as beautiful as her elder sister. For while Julia, she of the russet hair, was pretty, the other two were both lovely, with fair hair and blue eyes. Ruth was taller than Monica, and equally slender, but they shared identical good looks.
'I'm off. Though heaven knows how many children will turn up in this weather.' Monicasmiled. 'But George was going to look in '
George was the parish curate, young and enthusiastic, nice-looking in a rather crumpled way and very much in love with Monica.
They chorused goodbyes as she went away again.
'I'm going to wash my hair,' said Ruth, and Julia got down onto her knees again and picked up the scissors.
The front doorbell rang as she did so, and Ruth said from the door, 'That will be the milkman; I forgot to pay him I'll go.'
Professor Gerard van der Maes stood on the doorstep and looked around him. He had, in an unguarded moment, offered to deliver a package from his registrar Thomas, to that young man's fiancée—something which, it seemed, it was vital she received as quickly as possible. Since the registrar was on duty, and unlikely to be free for some time, and the Professor was driving himself to a Birmingham hospital and would need to thread his way through the northern parts of London, a slight deviation from his route was of little consequence.
Now, glancing around him, he rather regretted his offer. It had taken him longer than he had expected to find the house and he found the dreary street not at all to his taste. From time to time he had listened to Thomas's diffident but glowing remarks about his fiancée, but no one had told him that she lived in such a run-down part of the city.
The girl who answered the door more than made up for the surroundings. If this was Ruth, then Thomas must indeed be a happy man.
He held out a hand. 'Van der Maes, a colleague of Thomas. He wanted you to have a parcel and I happened to be going this way.'
'Professor van der Maes.' Ruth beamed up at him. 'How kind of you.' She added, not quite truthfully, 'I was just going to make coffee '
He followed her into the narrow hall and into the living room and Ruth said, 'Julia '
'If it's money you want there's some in my purse ' Julia didn't look up. 'Don't stop me or I'll cut too much off.'
'It's Professor van der Maes.'
'Not the old man from across the street?' Julia snipped carefully. 'I knew he'd break a leg one day, going outside in his slippers.'
Ruth gave the Professor an apologetic glance. 'We have a visitor, Julia.'
Julia turned round then, and looked at the pair of them standing in the doorway. Ruth, as lovely as ever, looked put out and her companion looked amused. Julia got to her feet, looking at him. Not quite her idea of a professor: immensely tall and large in his person, dark hair going grey, heavy brows above cold eyes and a nose high-bridged and patrician above a thin mouth. Better a friend than an enemy, thought Julia. Not that he looked very friendly
She held out a hand and had it gently crushed.
'I'll make the coffee,' said Ruth, and shut the door behind her.
'Do sit down,' said Julia, being sociable.
Instead he crossed the room to stand beside her and look down at the stuff spread out on the carpet.
'It looks like a curtain,' he observed.
'It is a curtain,' said Julia snappishly. It was on the tip of her tongue to tell him that by the time she had finished with it it would be a dress suitable to wear to an annual dance which the firm she worked for gave to its employees. A not very exciting occasion, but it was to be held at one of London's well-known hotels and that, combined with the fact that it was mid-February and life was a bit dull, meant that the occasion merited an effort on her part to make the best of herself.
She remembered her manners. 'Do you know Thomas? I suppose you're from the hospital. He's Ruth's fiancé. He's not ill or anything?'
'I know Thomas and I am at the same hospital. He is in splendid health.'
'Oh, good. But horribly overworked, I suppose?'
'Yes, indeed.' His eye fell on the curtain once more. 'You are a skilled needlewoman?'
'Only when I am desperate. What do you do at the hospital? Teach, I suppose, if you are a professor?'
'I do my best '
'Of what? Professor of what?'
'So you're handy with a needle too!' said Julia, and before he could answer that Ruth came in with the coffee.
'Getting to know each other?' she asked cheerfully. 'Thank you for bringing the parcel, Professor. I'm sorry you won't see Monica—she runs the nursery school here. Luckily I've got the morning off from the surgery, and Julia is always here, of course. She works at home—writes verses for greetings cards.'
Ruth handed round the coffee, oblivious of Julia's heavy frown.
'How very interesting,' observed the Professor, and she gave him a quick look, suspecting that he was amused. Which he was, although nothing of it showed on his face.
Ruth asked diffidently. 'I suppose Thomas hasn't heard if he's got that senior registrar's job? I know he'd phone me, but if he's busy '
'I think I can set your mind at rest. He should hear some time today. He's a good man and I shall be glad to have him in my team in a senior capacity.' He smiled at Ruth. 'Does that mean that you will marry?'
She beamed at him. 'Yes, just as soon as we can find somewhere to live.' She went on chattily, 'An aunt left us this house, and we came here to live when Mother and Father died, but I think we shall all be glad when we marry and can leave it.'
'Your other sister—Monica?' encouraged the Professor gently.
'Oh, she's engaged to the local curate; he's just waiting to get a parish. And Julia's got an admirer—a junior partner in the firm she works for. So you see, we are all nicely settled.'
He glanced at Julia. She didn't look at all settled, for she was indignantly pink and looked as though she wanted to throw something. She said coldly, 'I'm sure the Professor isn't in the least interested in us, Ruth.' She picked up the coffee pot. 'More coffee, Professor?'
Her tone dared him to say yes and delay his departure.
He had a second cup, and she hated him. And she thought he would never go.
When he did, he shook hands, with the observation that the dress would be a success.
Ruth went with him to the door. When she came back she said, 'He's got a Rolls; you ought to see it.' She glanced at Julia's kneeling form. 'You were a bit rude, dear. And he's such a nice man.'
Julia snipped savagely at a length of curtain. 'I hope I never meet him again.'
'Well, I don't suppose you will. He's a bit grand for us '
'There's nothing wrong with a rising young surgeon and a member of the clergy.' She'd almost added and a junior partner in a greetings card firm,' but she didn't, for Oscar, accepted as her admirer by everyone but herself, didn't quite fit. Curiosity got the better of her.
'Why do you say he's grand?'
'He's at the very top of the tree in the medical world and he's got a Dutch title—comes from an ancient family with lots of money. Never talks about himself. Thomas says he's a very private man.'
'Huh,' said Julia. 'Probably no one's good enough for him.'
Ruth commented mildly, 'You do dislike him, don't you?'
Julia began to wield her scissors again. 'Dislike him? I don't even know him. Shall we have Welsh rarebit for lunch? I'll make some scones for tea. Monica will be ravenous when she gets home; she never has time to eat her sandwiches. And if you're going to the shops you could bring some steak and kidney and I'll make a pudding.' She added, 'Filling and cheap.'
She spoke without rancour; the three Gracey sisters, living together for the sake of economy in the poky little house a long-dead aunt had bequeathed to them, had learned to live frugally. The house might be theirs, but there were rates and taxes, gas and electricity, clothes and food to be paid for. None of them had been trained to do anything in the business world, having been left suddenly with nothing but memories of their mother and father, killed in a car accident, and a carefree life in a pleasant old house in the country with never a thought of money worries.
It had been Julia who'd got them organised, refusing to be daunted by unexpected debts, selling their home to pay off the mortgage, arguing with bank managers, solicitors, and salvaging the remnants of her father's ill-advised investments. Once in their new home, it had been she who had urged the rather shy Ruth to take the part-time job as a receptionist to the local doctor while she looked for work for herself and Monica joined the staff of the local nursery school. But Julia had had no luck until, searching through the ads in the local paper, she'd seen one from the greetings card company.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained, she had decided, and had sat down to compose a batch of verses and send them off. Much to her surprise, the firm had taken her on. It was badly paid, but it meant that she could work at home and do the housekeeping and the cooking. And they managed very well.
Ruth had met Thomas when she had gone to the hospital to collect some urgent path. lab. Results for Dr Goodman, and soon they would marry. Monica, although she liked children, had never been quite sure that she wanted to stay at home, especially in such alien surroundings, but then George had come one day to tell the children Bible stories and all ideas of going out into the glamorous world to find a job more to her liking had faded away. They would have to wait to marry, of course, until George had a parish. In the meantime she was happy.
Which left Julia, twenty-four years old, bursting with life and energy. Because she had a happy nature she didn't allow herself to dwell on what might have been, but wrote her sentimental little verses, kept the house clean and tidy and, being clever with her needle, dressed herself in a style which, while not being the height of fashion, was a passable imitation.
It was fortunate, she supposed, that Oscar, her admirer—for he was only that at the moment, although he promised to be rather more when it was convenient for him to be so—had absolutely no taste in clothes. That horrible professor might sneer in a well-mannered way at the curtain, but Oscar wouldn't suspect. Indeed, even if he did, he would probably approve, for he was of a frugal nature when it came to spending money. He was persistent too. She had tried, over and over again, to shake him off, to suggest that she would make him a most unsuitable wife, but he refused to be shaken and, despite the countless excuses she had given, she was committed to attend the annual dance given by the greetings card firm.
Rightly, Ruth and Monica had urged her to go and enjoy herself. But neither of them had met Oscar, and she had given way because she knew that they both felt unhappy at the idea of her being left alone when they married. When she allowed herself to think about it she felt unhappy about that too.
She put away her sewing and started on the household chores, and found herself thinking about the Professor. He seemed a tiresome man, and she suspected that it would be hard to get the better of him. Probably he was horrid to his patients.
Professor van der Maes, contrary to Julia's idea, was treating the endless stream of patients attending his clinic with kindness and patience, his quiet voice reassuring, his smile encouraging. He was a tired man, for he worked too hard, but no patient had ever found him uncaring. But that was a side which he seldom showed to anyone else. The nursing staff who worked for him quickly learnt that he would stand no nonsense, that only their best efforts would suit him, and as for his students—he represented the goal they hoped to obtain one day. A good word from him was worth a dozen from anyone else, just as a quiet reprimand sent them into instant dejection. They called him the old man behind his back, and fiercely defended any criticism anyone was foolish enough to utter.
The Professor remained unmoved by other people's opinion of him, good or bad. He was an excellent surgeon and he loved his work, and he had friends who would be his for life, but he had no use for casual acquaintances. He had a social life when his work permitted, and was much sought after as a dinner party guest. Since he was unmarried, he could have taken his pick of any of the women he met. But, although he was a pleasant companion, he showed no interest in any of them. Somewhere in the world, he supposed, there was the woman he would fall in love with and want for his wife, but he was no longer young and he would probably end his days as a crusty old bachelor.
