They meet at a garden party and become good friends through the medium of the child, who takes quite a fancy to the doctor. Runa is taken sick and all through the terrifying hours of her illness, Dr. Hale and the frightened mother watch at the little bedside. The night of the crisis is a long, wearying siege; the dawn brings restful sleep and surcease of fever to the child. In her joy at the baby's recovery, the mother sobs out her relief in Hale's arms and it is then that they realize their love. Happy days follow with Runa, a cheerful convalescent. But Mrs. Adams' lawyer comes from the city to see her on business. She introduces Hale and knowing he is a trifle jealous, she pretends a great interest in the other man. After his departure, he angrily accuses her of flirting. Proudly she resents his attitude, angry words follow, and the doctor returns home with his ring in his pocket. The days that follow are lonely. When Runa asks why the doctor doesn't come anymore, Mrs. Adams must admit that he will never come again, Runa then takes matters into her own hands. She decides that she will be sick again so the doctor will have to come to her. When he arrives Runa explains her deception to him and he, ashamed of his foolishness, goes to the mother and their quarrel is soon a thing of the past.
