Leo Taylor, also known by the nickname of Ginger in his family, is hired by James Piper to drive Kathleen to and from school. He is instructed to never speak or have any contact with her. He follows the rules closely.

Years later, he works for James again, but this time as a delivery man for James' bootlegging operation of sellling liquor. It is while working as a delivery man that Frances sees Leo and remembers his connection to Kathleen. He does not remember Frances very well and perceives her as being much younger. Even after she tells him she is eighteen years old, Leo still only sees Frances as a sad child who needs his help.
