剧情简介: Staged in England, among beautiful gardens and with modern costumes. The first scene is the exterior of an English private school giving an excellent and true to life picture of a village street, with its shops in the England of to-day. In this scene we are introduced to the old schoolmaster and his beautiful daughter with whom we are chiefly interested for the remainder of the play. The combining with the fiction of the drama, some actually true to life school children at play as well as a section showing shops, adds materially to the film. It is the educational factor, combined with the amusement feature, which builds so strongly the widespread hold of the \"silent stage\" upon the public. This introduction to the teacher and his daughter in their very common little home is in marked contrast to the second scene in which we are taken to the mansion home of one of the young lady\'s schoolmates, where a dainty little lawn party is in progress at which the poor teacher\'s daughter is evidently a much honored guest. During the serving of refreshments the brother of the hostess is introduced to her friends and becomes interested at once in the old teacher\'s daughter, but because of the crowd he does not press his friendship. Later in the day, when the guests have separated to stroll about the beautiful grounds, he, by chance, meets her in a secluded path. After a few moments\' conversation, presuming upon his high social position, he makes advances which, of course, are rebuffed. The girl, very much hurt by his presumption, hurries to her home seeking her father\'s comfort and companionship. Some months later we are again taken to the garden of the rich girl\'s home where we find her convalescent after a very serious illness. She expresses a wish to see the old teacher\'s daughter. Her mother forthwith drives to the cottage of the schoolmaster with the message and insists on the young lady accompanying her back to the mansion. In spite of the fact that she feels a great aversion to going to the home of the imprudent youth, she accompanies the mother because her friend is ill. Arrived at the home she does all in her power to while away the time for the sick girl, talking with her and reading to her. The sick girl\'s brother sees in the visitor the girl whom he once insulted and who has been continually in his mind since that time. Indeed, he has thought so much of her and her way of rebutting him, as well as the kindness she has shown to his sister, that he has decided he really loves her. He awaits the time of her departure and as she is making her way homeward he contrives a meeting. He apologizes for his former boldness and offers his love which is happily accepted.
