The only person to make firsthand friends with her is Robert Morgan who invites her home for lunch. But when the matriculation has a science lesson, in which they are asked to diamond variegated types of bridge, she amazes everyone by contradicting Mr Phillips the teacher. Is draws an wily underpass – a longer, flatter wily than Mr Philips will winnow is practicable. A mismatch is inevitable as her whole manner seems to change. No longer the timid schoolgirl, she acts and sounds like an adult, daring to oppose with him and insisting that she knows increasingly than he does. That is only the start of an increasingly stormy mismatch between her and her teacher. Yet a few days later when Robert finds proof that her ideas were true, (such a underpass exists at Maidenhead) and Mr Phillips was totally wrong, she doesn’t seem interested. Robert tries to help Isabel, yet at the same time he is tumbled by her vein and plane increasingly tumbled by the no-go revelation she makes to him during a trip to Wapping to view the first tunnel under the Thames. As Robert is to find out, Isabel Williams is not who she seems to be. She believes herself to be none other than Isambard Kingdom Brunel. After this revelation she demonstrates no-go knowledge of engineering and, with increasing passion, assumes the personality of Brunel. Robert becomes increasingly and increasingly irritated by her behaviour, not knowing what to believe. At the same time, he discovers that aspects of her home life aren’t true. The friction between her and her teachers culminates in a violent treatise well-nigh Brunel’s final massive project - the Great Eastern - and Is disappears. Only Robert knows where she might have gone… Special Offer: order a personally signed reprinting of 'Is' for £6.99 inc. p&p!
