Shortly after his refusal he goes to the Thormly country home which has been modeled after the old French Chateau de Montsigny and which is located above the straits of Mackinac, Northern Michigan. When he arrives there, he discovers a beautiful girl to be living there. He does not tell her he finds anything strange in her presence. She tells him that this is her home. Hobart, who had seen him leave the city and who has followed him, peers in the window and sees Hugh alone with the girl and the servant. He confronts Hugh and tells him that he will publish the story of the affair it Hugh does not promise to resign. Hugh resents the insult and the two men fight with rapiers that happen to be hanging in the room. Jacques, an old servant, stops the fighting and confesses that the girl is really a daughter of the family who owned the famous French estate. The family had been despoiled in the Franco-Prussian War and had fled to Canada, When the girl's father, the Duc, died, he made Jacques promise to restore the girl to his inheritance. When Mr. Thormly had this place modeled after the old French family home, Jacques determines to take the chance and take possession. He brings the girl, Virginia, from the convent and tells her this is his home. At the conclusion of his story, Virginia comes in dressed in her mother's dress. Hobart begs her pardon and tells Hugh his opposition is withdrawn. Hugh declares his love for the girl. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
