She lives alone in her cottage, generally neglected by neighbors, and even scandalized by some through the gossip of one of the villagers, Hilda Splugg, because she accepts the advances of Henry Widdle, the village physician. Alice adores Rosemary and frequently visits her sitting room. Rosemary reads that a relative has died leaving a fortune to his cousin. Supposing herself to be the cousin, she communications with the lawyers, who instruct her to come to New York and they will adjust matters. She calls on the lawyers only to be told she is not the heir referred to; the deceased was no relative of hers. The dear old soul journeys back to her country home worn out with fatigue. But at Blueberry Corners she had not been forgotten. The old physician longed for her return day after day, and little Alice continued to make daily visits to Rosemary's cottage hoping she will return. Rosemary arrives at her cottage in a rainstorm, contracts violent illness, and lies alone in her bedroom. The next day little Alice, making her daily call, discovers the door unlocked and finds Rosemary very ill in bed. She summons the old physician, who hastens at top speed in his old rattletrap of a buggy, and promptly administers medical relief. Rosemary recovers and the repentant neighbors fill her room with gifts and cheer. In her gratitude towards the physician she finally accepts him and they become engaged, both of their lives being thus brightened in their sunsets. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
