In twelve years she becomes a great favorite with the gypsies, who have named her Kilmeny, but rather than be married to a brutal fellow, Barouche, she flees the camp. Kilmeny is found wandering in the woods, by Lord Leigh, and he persuades the rather reluctant Lady Leigh to give the ragged little wild thing shelter in the manor. The child of camps and trails at first finds naive delight in mysteries like electric light switches, bath tubs with fickle showers and rugs upon which she can slide beautifully over the hardwood floors. But long dresses trip her, the butler is a thundercloud, and at night she cannot sleep in the closed-in room unless she pulls her little white bed to the window. To make it worse, Lady Leigh becomes jealous of her husband's protegee, and so does her brother, Bob Meredith, a dashing chap with whom Kilmeny is very much in love. The sensitive girl who cannot bear to hurt birds, beasts or any living thing, cannot bear to hurt her benefactors either, and so in a pathetic self-sacrifice turns her back upon the manor and returns to the angry gypsies, and to Barouche. But just as the gypsy wedding ceremony is about to begin the father of the long-lost Doris Calhoun appears and calls a halt, and proves the beautiful Kilmeny is his own daughter. To prove it, he produces the poor cripple, Pierre, who has braved the wrath of the clan to balk the brutal Barouche and carry word to Kilmeny's father of her whereabouts.
