Her husband is somewhat older than she is. She meets Wentworth Dryden. He is charmed by Marion's manner and personality. She finds him very entertaining. Dryden pays her so much court her husband notices it. Dryden conducts himself with propriety and shows Mrs. Harrington every respectful courtesy, but he finds it difficult to restrain his admiration for her. He invites her to visit his brother's studio, to which he has a passkey. After viewing the works of art, Dryden expresses his love for her and she becomes suspicious of his intentions. Making some plausible excuse, she opens the window. She spies her husband, attracts his attention and calls him. He is surprised, but hastens to her. She calmly awaits his coming. Before he arrives, however, Dryden has controlled his inclination and does not forget that he is a gentleman. He respectfully escorts Marion to the door and announces that his brother seems to have forgotten his appointment and, if she is ready, he will see her home. Just as they are leaving the studio Mr. Harrington enters. He accuses Dryden of being discourteous to his wife. Dryden denies it, and Mr. Harrington strikes Dryden a heavy blow. Mrs. Harrington convinces him that Dryden has done nothing wrong. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
