Gazing into the crystal ball, Adele witnesses an enactment of the life she would lead with each one of them and is shocked to find every marriage ending in heartache. The lawyer proves faithless, the banker steals money, the doctor neglects her, and the poor clerk suggests that she sacrifice her honor to his threatening employer. Dismissing all of them, Adele moves to Vermont and opens a store. Business is slow until a passing salesman assumes management of the store and transforms it into a booming success. Happy at last, Adele agrees to marry him. Written by Pamela Short See less
