Phil took a house in another town that he might not meet his wife and be forced to remembrance of the woman he still loved. Lois was a woman and a mother and her heart yearned for her child. She wrote Phil a letter telling him that she intended taking steps to see her child in spite of his precautions to the contrary. Phil refused to consider the letter, but instructed the housekeeper never to allow the child out her sight. Shortly afterward, the appearance of a veiled woman aroused the curiosity of the women of the neighborhood, but she conducted herself modestly and gossip died out. One day Phil's child wandered up the street and as she toddled along she heard her name called. She recognized the voice and ran into her mother's arms. Shortly after, Lois sent the child back home. That night, when Phil returned home, he left the front door open. Later that night, the child decided to return to her mother and in the darkness she groped down the dark stairs and out of the front door. Lois was interrupted in her bitter meditations by a gentle knock at the door. She opened the door and it was her baby girl. All the bitterness fled and she took the child in her arms and wept. Phil found her there with their child in her arms, weeping and his eyes dimmed and he forgot all past disagreements. After that there was no further use for the housekeeper.
