No More than Human Part III

Delia enjoys office work much more than governess or teaching English, and when she has had a few months experience, she gets better paid jobs. She begins to go out with Siemen, who is very interested in her and somewhat jealous. She gets a job in a bank but changes because he fears her boss is trying to make love to her, and she goes on with her writing. She moves into a new home with a kindly Spanish couple who run a shop but while she is there, she gets ill. She is very ill and when she recovers, Siemen suggests they get married and have a holiday, but Delia says she would like too go home to Ireland. She has several siblings but has not seen much of them because her mother was unable to look after them all when she was widowed, and Delia went to her grandmother who adored her. She goes back to Ireland, but meets Michael, her pen friend and they realise that they are in love. She never goes back to Spain, but Siemen Marries Romana, one of their Spanish friends.
