Their love for each other is soon discovered by the marchioness, and Corti is immediately dismissed. A letter found in Lydia's room by her brother, Robert, who has just returned from college after completion of his medical studies, bears evidence of the fact that Lydia has left to join Corti. As a result her mother succumbs to an old affliction. Robert swears vengeance and gives up the hope of ever marrying Lucy Barker, his sweetheart, to pursue the tenor. Corti and Lydia are secretly married and settle in a small country town. Annoyed by Lydia's jealousy. Corti accepts an offer to tour another country. During his absence, Lydia is placed in a sanitarium to undergo treatment for nervousness. Having been advised of her disappearance, Corti returns before fulfilling his engagements. Robert, bent on avenging the seeming wrong done to his sister, Lydia, corners Corti, who furnishes evidence of his secret marriage to Lydia, and thus becomes Robert's friend. Corti accepts an invitation to a ball tendered by one of his friends. He is asked to sing, but cannot do so. A voice as though from heaven bids him sing, and immediately there is a dramatic meeting between husband and wife. Great is his joy when Robert is informed by his sister that she is the companion of Lucy Baker, his former sweetheart. Thereupon he announces his marriage.
