Rather his wife was adventurous in her approach just like him. He arranged for Finnie the biggest adventure of her life after which she might be able to go home. Kristen Ashley paints the bigger picture excellently in her novels, Dream Spinner and Wild Wind were full of strange things as well.
Dragons, magic and magical creatures also get loaded here to the maximum. Finnie was looking for adventure all her life and when she finally gets the adventure she thinks that she has wished for too much. Tillie Hooper does not waste an inch in narration. The end of the story according to many was the obvious thing but the narration and continuation in the story is surely appreciable.
