Hawkins, a southern planter, to paint a portrait of the former's wife. James is treated hospitably by the planter and made to feel perfectly at home. After a few days, Hawkins goes away on a business trip, leaving the young painter to begin the portrait. James is delighted with the beauty of the place and with Grace. She is much younger than her husband, and for the first time in her life is enjoying the companionship of a man her own age. The portrait is begun in the attic, which is the only place where James can find the proper light. An old-fashioned dress, with a low neck bodice, is unearthed from an old trunk, and Grace daily puts it on for the sitting. Their constant companionship results in their falling in love without either of them realizing it. On the planter's return he asks to see the portrait. His anger is aroused by the low neck dress and by a new look that he sees in his wife's eyes and he turns abruptly on James and accuses him of a breach of trust. James denies it so emphatically that Hawkins is convinced and apologizes. Grace realizes the true state of her feelings and goes to James to help her. He sends her away and all night fights his battle between love and honor. The next morning at dawn, before anyone is awake, he rides away alone. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
