Reading: Telempath, by Spider Robinson, Part Four


We know from part three that Helen Phinney has been carrying a torch for Isham’s Dad. What we do not know is if those feelings had been returned. All we know about the relationship is from Isham, and he phrased the relationship as Helen being in love with Jacob Stone. (This kind of makes sense, because Jacob seems like an emotionally distant person, and is highly unlikely to talk about his relationships with his son.) We also know that when asked, Jacob said that he wasn’t going to marry her because she was white. It is pretty clear that Isham does not really understand why this might be an issue.
