He pleads with his wife to stay until the old folks depart, and entreats her to give his parents the impression that they are still as happy together as they were when he first left his father's roof to mate the woman he loved. She consents. One night during his parents' visit, while they are chatting and discussing little nothings, his father turns the topic of conversation to the romance of the younger people's younger days; out of the past he summons little pictures of a man and a maid knowing of nothing but each other's love and its happiness, little meaningless words significant of things no language can fully interpret, pictures and words forgotten in the oblivion of marital dissension. Husband and wife, in silent embarrassment, look into the mirror to conceal their chagrin, and there, as in a mirror of their souls, they see a vision. Fair skies and a rippling brook, green things and fragrant flowers and two looking into the eyes of each, translating the mystic meaning of life and the years, a vivid vision of the happy days of their courting and the tender truth of their troth. The old folks depart, and with them departs the shadow. Hollow happiness they had substituted for monotonous peace; the glint of a sunbeam they had bartered for a grain of dust, and they see the folly of it all and the mockery. He takes the woman in his arms, and their lips, and the lives, meet again. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
