Although in comfortable circumstances, he shuns all society and devotes all his time to the study of the American Indian and gathering of Indian relics. When his friend, Professor Munger, seeking a husband for his ward, Agnes, puts it up to John as a sacred duty to give the girl a home, John feels that he cannot decline. Agnes is a diffident little thing about nineteen and does exactly as she is told. The peculiar marriage takes place and Agnes finds herself in John's home. John's old housekeeper, Delia, proves a disagreeable companion for the girl and John's attitude towards the girl is the same as it would be towards any orphan. He goes right on with his study, never dreaming of love or what married life really means. When Agnes does make an attempt at companionship it fails through his ignorance of femininity. This state of affairs continues for almost a year. Then comes John's cousin, Billie, a rollicking, bouncing young man of twenty-five. He drags John and Agnes to a dance. Agnes meets a lot of lively young folks, watches their love making, tingles to the dance music, contrasts it all with her dull life and realizes she is missing all that belongs to a young woman. Her efforts to wake John up to this fact fails and in desperation her yearning spirit seeks elsewhere for romance. She buys fashionable clothes and attends parties. There are some flirtations. Gaston, a Frenchman, falls head over heels in love with her, and although she cares nothing for him, his attentions in a way make up for John's stupid neglect and she does not discourage him. John finally learns of her escapades and is strangely disturbed. That he is jealous does not occur to him, until, John is in Boston delivering a lecture when a telegram from his housekeeper informs him that, "Agnes is carrying on scandalous with the Frenchman." The lecture ends abruptly. John jumps aboard a home bound train within ten minutes. Next evening Gaston calls to see Agnes, but having become "too fresh," is refused admittance. John arrives just after the door has been slammed in Gaston's face. Gaston has left his cane on the steps; John thinks the Frenchman is in the house. He rings the bell furiously. Agnes thinks Gaston is ringing again and does not answer. John kicks the door open. Hearing the crash Agnes and Delia barricade all the inner doors, retreating from room to room. John smashes through everything until, bursting into the kitchen, he is confronted by Agnes, who in desperation has grabbed the carving knife prepared to defend herself against the supposed Frenchman. When things have been explained John realizes he is in love and Agnes is delighted to find she is loved by a real, red-blooded man. Their honeymoon begins from that moment.
