A farm on the estate is occupied by Henry Pendragon, a poverty-stricken old gentleman who has lived there rent-free for years. He is much distressed when he hears that Gray is to visit the manor house, fearing that he might be dispossessed of the farm which he has come to regard as his own. His niece Nancy, who has lived with him since his son William's departure to seek his fortune in the Klondike and who practically supports the family by selling her paintings, agrees to her proud old uncle's suggestion that she play the part of maid to conceal their extreme poverty from Gray. Gray is much struck by the appearance of the pretty "maid," who admits him to the house, and after seeing her a few times he finds himself falling in love with her. The discovery of the state of his feelings causes him to decide to return to the City, as he is in no mind to marry a mere servant girl. Part Two: William Pendragon returns from the Klondike penniless, and stays for a while with some disreputable companions in the city. Gray sees him there and saves his life in a brawl over cards. The young man picks up courage enough to go home with his confession of failure and starts off on foot. Young Pendragon goes to the village inn and asks help of the innkeeper, Barker, who sends for his cousin, Nancy. Meanwhile, Gray, unable to forget the "maid," has returned to the manor, intending to court and win her. He sees Nancy enter the inn, and imagines that she is in love with Barker. Following her one day, Gray meets William again, who tells him of Nancy's real identity. Without letting her know of his discovery, Gray seeks her out and wins her consent to be his wife, to the great delight of old Pendragon, who persuades himself that his clever diplomacy brought about the whole affair.
