Young Southerner Hawley Caldwell is in love with Leslie, and their love affair is of great interest to Aunt Hulda, who was Leslie's nurse in slavery days, and is now "general factotum" of the Fairfax family. Hawley is introduced to Pearl Winslow, the daughter of a wealthy Northern manufacturer who has bought an estate nearby. She falls in love with him and flirts with him. Tales of this, very much exaggerated, are carried to Leslie. She becomes jealous and there is a breach between the lovers, and circumstances help make matters worse. Aunt Hulda is very much worried, and when, after a ball one night at which the lovers have become more estranged than ever, she hears her mistress sobbing, she resolves to take hold and clear things up. She visits Hawley and tells him that he is a fool to mind Leslie's manner, for she really loves him. He doubts this. She bids him prove it and tells him what to do. He gets up a fake runaway and is thrown from his horse. While he is lying in apparent unconsciousness, Leslie reveals her heart and a reconciliation takes place. As the two happy lovers sit in the parlor, the old mammy sits by her kitchen fire and chuckles over the success of her scheme. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
