The child is later taken away by Margy, an old servant, and brought up in another city. Lennox deserts Sylvia and she goes partly insane, finally killing him. Her daughter "Silvery" becomes an artist's model and falls in love with Vanveldt, her employer. Meeting Frankenstein, a hypnotist, whose wife Vivette is intensely jealous of him, Silvery falls under his influence. Meanwhile, Sylvia returns to Gray and finds he has become blind, with no recollection of the past. She uses her utmost endeavors to make reparation for the past in caring for him, and gradually his memory returns. He remembers he has received a large sum of money for one of his plays and hidden it. They find it and Frankenstein, who learns of the treasure's recovery, forces "Silvery" while under his power, to rob the old man. She is about to stab Gray when Frankenstein is killed by Vivette; the spell is broken and all ends happily in the betrothal of Silvery and Vanveldt and the reunion of Mr. Gray and Sylvia, who remorsefully and penitently admits the justice of all her punishment and determines that the past shall be forgotten in the happiness of the future.
