"When I have completed my college course we will be married," Stanley declares, and Mildred goes home to wait. His mother, traveling abroad, has been seriously injured, and he hastens to her side. During this time Mildred gets no word from her lover, and at last she can keep her secret no longer. Her old nurse elicits the story and repeats it to Judge Murdock, who takes his family into seclusion. Stanley, returning, is thunderstruck on discovering that the Murdocks have gone away. Mildred's father writes: "The man who crushed out the life of my daughter is not fit to rear her child." Stricken with remorse, Stanley becomes a clergyman, and eventually is appointed to the church in the village where Mildred, after her father's death, has continued to live in seclusion. Mildred's daughter, now five years old, is hurt when another child's nurse tell her charge that she must not play with little girls whose mothers are not respectable. Desirous of complying with established forms, Mildred goes to the church and requests Stanley to marry "me and my dolly." Touched by her innocence, the minister accompanies her home, and comes face to face with his lost love. Explanations ensue, and later they are quietly married.
