Timothy feels alone and misunderstood. Attracted to Annie's good willed nature, he never the less shields his undertakings from her.

When the truth is finally revealed, Annie who is overcome with guilt from her incorrect assumptions.

Can Annie figure out why Timothy is doing this? Can Timothy understand why Annie beguiles him?
