Unwilling to postpone his trip, he arranges for the housekeeper to take care of Alice during his absence, and joins his friends. Alice, becoming lonely in her guardian's big home, accepts the invitation of school friends to spend a week at the beach. Holmes' yacht puts in at the same place, and he meets his ward unconventionally. Following her to the house, he overhears her playing a delightful melody on the piano. At a second meeting, on the beach, he introduces himself. She flees in panic, and abruptly terminating her visit, returns home. Holmes, oppressed by loneliness, now that she is gone, cuts short his cruise and returns home. Alice, hearing him arrive, sits down to the piano and plays the air he knows. In the flood of recollection thus aroused, their meeting is charmingly effected, and Holmes realizes that he has found, not a ward, but a wife. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
