To his amazement, Frank Forbes proves to be a charming young woman. He hastily dismisses the crowd of young bloods he has invited to meet Forbes, and calls on his aunt to play chaperon. Frances Forbes mistakes his kindly interest and falls in love with him. Boyd realizes this and plans to avoid her. While hunting on his preserves he fires at a deer and wounds Miss Forbes, who has been sketching on the other side of the thicket. A doctor is summoned, but he despairs of the artist's recovery. At last he, too, realizes that unrequited love is the cause of her illness, and he has an interview with Boyd. The bachelor, deeming himself to blame, proposes to the girl, and they are married. Boyd has the habit of keeping a diary, and notes in it his resolution to marry one he does not love. Chance leads his wife to read the words, and she determines to go out of his life. He finds the page of his diary blotted with her tears, and guesses the truth. Suddenly he realizes that he does love her, and subsequently they are happy with their little child.
