In the [[Universe (The Folly of Men)|home universe]] of [[Jenny Cornelius]], a particularly reckless version of [[Jenny Everywhere]] from 1960s [[London]], “Miss Laura Drake” worked in the P.R. office of the [[Intelligence Taskforce]]. 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. On one occasion, Jenny phoned Laura ''ahead'' of time to warn her that she was about to do [[Godzilla|something extremely outrageous]] and the Taskforce had better stand ready to “deny any involvement”. The two then agreed to meet up the next Friday at the [[Piccadilly Circus]] tube station and walk for a while until they found a restaurant that tickled their fancy.

When asked how she and Cornelius had met, Laura 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 [[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 insane speeds to [[Birmingham]] to see [[the Quarrymen]] play, the significance of which was entirely lost on Laura.

Despite their tense working relationship, Jenny managed to talk Laura into going on actual dates with her on multiple occasions, although, owing to the time period, they had to be discreet about it.

Jenny and Laura had another date in Soho on [[Epiphany]]. It was interrupted by the appearance of [[Jenny Everywhere (Parallax Universe)|another version]] of Jenny, the first Laura Drake learned of Cornelius's multidimensional nature. Despite her confusion at the situation, her good manners got the better of her and she asked the other Jenny if she'd like to joint heir outing.
