His sister, Victoria, is enamored with a dashing young blade, who in part returns her affections. But, he is engrossed in one-sided flirtation with Sir John's wife. As Lady Glenavan and Victoria are sitting in a balcony overlooking the river, the dashing cavalier rows to where they sit and throws a note on the balcony. Lady Glenavan throws it into the river. Victoria taking a row boat, searches for the note, which she finds among the water-lilies. It reads: "Dear Maud, I know that you will never betray your husband but without you I have no desire to live. 1 shall be waiting for you tonight at the little gate in the park in the hope. If not, goodbye. Jack Treharne." Sir John with a servant is in the woodland after game. He sees a veiled woman approaching hurriedly. Her garments are those of big wife. Astonished at seeing her in this lonely place at night unattended, he draws back into the bushes and watches. He follows. He sees her meet a man, who was waiting at the cross-road with two horses. They embrace. The woman doesn't lift her veil. The baron pursues. Changing horses at an inn, he gains on the elopers. Arriving at a road house, outside of which stands the horses on which the runaways had ridden, he is told that the man and woman are in a private room. In he dashes, disregarding the strength of the lock. There he confronts the veiled woman and the cavalier. He strikes the man. A fight is about to ensue. Sir John then snatches the veil from the woman's face. He starts back in surprise. "My sister!" he gasps. It is with a sense of relief as well as of pain to find that his sister is the runaway. He is glad, however, to know that it is not his wife, and that this action is remedial. He tells the Cavalier, who is also amazed to see whom he has met, that English convention is imperative and that he must marry Victoria, having thus compromised her. The Cavalier, believing that the worst can be the best, capitulates. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
