Snatcher, whose executive ability coupled with Harold’s publicity efforts, resulted in a campaign of confidence that not only pulled the bank through its difficulties, but saved innumerable families from suffering. What made the youthful reporter’s feat more noteworthy were the facts that in addition to being pursued by the slightly sophisticated daughter of the banker, who had designs upon his heart and person, Harold faced severe emotional problems when Snatcher decided that he had been a widower long enough and proceeded to pay ardent court to Lillums_ Lovewell, known everywhere as Harold’s “heart”.
