The blind girl and her more fortunate neighbor, whose father is a widower, become acquainted. They rapidly become intimate, and the blind girl is invited to accompany the rich girl on her summer visit to the country. The older sister feels the separation keenly, but is willing to submit to it because of the joy it will give her little sister. The two little girls have a great time in the country. One day while crossing a lawn they are startled by a gruff voice and a severe elderly gentleman roughly orders them off his place. In a moment of panic the little blind girl's companion flees, leaving her alone. The old gentleman is none other than the grandfather of the two orphan girls. Their mother, his daughter, had married against his wishes and he ordered her out of his sight forever, which has caused him bitterness and remorse ever since. The blind girl is taken seriously ill, her sister is sent for, and when the old gentleman sees her, her resemblance to her dead mother is so striking that the whole truth is disclosed at once. Not only are the two girls sure of a good home from now on, but there is an indication that the widower and the elder girl are to be much more than ordinary acquaintances.
