George, however, is a woman-hater and frustrates all his mother's match-making efforts. The arrival of Jean, a distant relative, gives Mrs. Blandon the opportunity she wants. Jean is an orphan and the Blandon's are the only relatives she has in the world. The morning after her arrival, Jean, about to take her place at the table, is ordered by Mrs. Blandon to wait until the family have finished their meal. Taken completely aback, Jean rushes to her room humiliated and heartbroken. His mother's cruelty fills George with amazement. Although he had vowed to shun Jean, George rises from the table and hastens after her. In his desire to soothe the girl, he informs her that his mother occasionally experiences irrational spells. Mrs. Blandon's attitude towards Jean during the ensuing week leaves George bewildered. His sympathy towards Jean deepens into love and when the girl finally declares her inability to endure Mrs. Blandon's eccentricities another day, George urges her to become his wife. Mrs. Blandon overhears the proposal and the next instant Jean finds herself half-smothered in the woman's embrace. George's mother then confesses that her conduct towards Jean had been part of her plan to make her son take an interest in the girl. Jean and George, sheepishly admitting that the scheme has worked to perfection, name their wedding day. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
