}}One '''version of [[Jenny Everywhere]]''' was “very English” and went by the name of '''Jenny Cornelius'''. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Morning After (novel)|Morning After]]'')  

Physically identical to the [[Jenny Everywhere (Parallax Universe)|“Kim's friend” Jenny]] except for different fashion senses, a British accent, and longer hair, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Watch the Skies (short story)|Watch the Skies]]'') she was native to 1960s [[London]] in [[Universe (The Folly of Men)|one universe]], living about a thousand feet from [[Carnaby Street]]. She was a particularly reckless operator, but made an open secret of her teleporting powers, for which reason she was in the good books of the [[Intelligence Taskforce]], who sometimes asked for her unofficial help in dealing with delicate situations. As well as [[Captain Stewart]], with whom she also flirted (unsuccessfully), this was what put her in contact with [[Laura Drake (The Folly of Men)|Miss Laura Drake]], who worked in the P.R. office. Jenny often went through her when trying to get in touch with the Taskforce, nearly always causing Laura unlikely headaches such as how to hide a submarine in the [[West India Docks]]. Despite their tense working relationship, Jenny managed to talk Laura into going on dates with her on multiple occasions, although, owing to the time period, they had to be discreet about it.

When asked how she and Cornelius had met, [[Laura Drake (The Folly of Men)|Laura Drake]] couldn't exactly recall, explaining that they “must have run into each other at something, early on” and had subsequently “[seen] each other off and on for a while”. Eventually, around 1958, she suggested they go somewhere together out of the blue. After Laura declined “a marathon ride on the Tube”, driving through the countryside in Jenny's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini Mini], or travelling to “far-away, fantastical lands, wondrous imaginary places only found in the wildest fantasies? [[Neverland]]! [[Tir na Nog]]! [[Oz]]! [[France]]!”, Cornelius settled on an idea without telling her what it was, and drove her at to [[Liverpool]] to see [[the Quarrymen]] play, the significance of which was entirely lost on Laura at the time.
