Nina is still a butterfly devoted to a gay set of merrymakers. She leaves her husband and child on the lawn to go off motoring with some friends. The child is taken ill and the mother goes to see him. Then forgetting all about him she starts to dress for a dinner and ball. Her husband comes in and she demands to know why he is not ready. He looks at her and tells her they cannot go, the boy is too sick. She runs out of the room to see the child, and meets the doctor who tells her he fears very much that the little boy has contracted small-pox. She then rushes to her own room and, grabbing a hand-mirror, scans her face. She tells her husband what the doctor said. He goes to the child. The doctor advises that the mother be sent for. She locks the door and sits shuddering. She falls asleep and dreams. She sees her son and her husband turn from her to leave her forever. She begs them to stay; they do not even notice her appeal but close the door in her face. She awakens to find herself banging on the door of her own room. She can hear the child crying. Without a moment's hesitation she dashes out. She goes to the child and he content falls asleep in her arms. Through the long hours she holds the little tense body. With the dawn the child relaxes and falls back on his pillows asleep. The doctor arrives and tells them that the child merely has the measles. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
