Corrie, on the other hand, was not only closer to Rembski's age than her sister, but was also unattached. There can be little doubt that Corrie must have entertained romantic fantasies about this dashing European. Rembski's lack of stature would have posed no problem for Corrie, who was dwarfed even by a dog standing on his hind legs. The Henshaws were notoriously short. In fact, a family joke had it that the Henshaws were so short that, if a Henshaw stood from a sitting position, there was no noticeable increase in his or her height. Corrie was not an exception to this rule. She therefore posed no threat to Rembski, as a taller woman might have. In fact, she looked downright tiny next to him. And she was quite attractive in her own right. Nor was she a slouch when it came to socializing. She loved company and culture, wrote about it in Brooklyn Life, and was glad to add another icon to the pantheon of colorful figures in her life. Thus, Rembski became, not just an individual, but a project, a person to bring into her own orbit. Effecting this enterprise would be an important accomplishment, but whether she would be able to achieve the climax of such an endeavor was another question.
