While passing down the street she is knocked down by a taxi and falls heavily on the roadway. The taxi's occupant, James Ogilvie, gets out and assists her to her feet. He invites her to enter the cab and offers to take her home. When they are alone in the taxi, however, he asks her to accompany him to dinner instead; she accepts. Nannette will not allow him to take her home at the end of the evening, but returns by herself. James Ogilvie is a plumber's man and is rather fond of making a splurge. One evening at least every week he is in the habit of donning his dress suit and going forth as a man of fashion. It is on such an evening that the meeting with Nannette has taken place. The next morning the Stevens' house is dead cold, for the steam heating furnace is out of order. The housekeeper telephones to the plumbers to have a man sent out on the job. Nannette recognizes her escort of the evening before, but gets away before he sees her. Upstairs, she calls to her maid and changes clothes with her. Going to the cellar again she allows Ogilvie to speak to her and he, believing that she is the maid of the house, commences to make ardent love to her again. Before he goes she invites him to take tea with her that afternoon in the servant's kitchen. Other meetings follow in which James becomes more and more in love with Nannette. At last she tells him the truth, and, thinking that she has just been playing with him, James turns to go away. She calls him back to her, however, and draws his arms around her neck. She tells him that she truly loves him, in spite of her wealth, and begs him not to desert her in her new-found happiness. James is nothing loath and presses her to his heart in fond embrace.
