Olive will not believe that her husband is unfaithful and spurns Bryce's love. But Bryce takes her for a stroll in the garden, and, coming to a small summer house, she observes through the curtain a man whom she supposes is her husband caressing a woman whom she thinks must be May Latham. Leaving a note for her husband, telling him what she has seen, she goes to their winter apartment, which has been closed, followed, unknown to her, by Bryce. She prepares to retire when there comes a knock at her door, and opening it, she is confronted by Bryce, who madly declares his love for her. She repulses him, telling him that she still loves her husband. Suddenly they hear a knock at the door. She pushes him into the bedroom and opens the door to find her husband, who had followed her. He explains that the man whom she saw caressing her cousin was her cousin's husband. For the moment, in the joy of being reunited she forgets the man in the bedroom, but is terrified when she thinks of him. Dixon declares that he could find her if he were blind, and she places a bandage about his eyes, declaring she will put him to the test. And so it is that Bryce makes his escape and the husband and wife are happy. Written by
