When John first met Colonel Allyn, he was a little confused in the beginning. However, he did tell it all honestly, his motive to come to their residence, how he had followed Jessie from Cincinnati. He told her father all about his salary and prospects. He first felt that the father would throw him out but he still kept the conversation going.
