Mrs. Burt makes the visit, but, in order to test her nieces, she conceals the fact that she is wealthy, and goes as a poor woman who must work for her living. The nieces having discharged their cook, decide that the poor aunt must take her place. On the arrival she is escorted to the kitchen and put to work. All the nieces, save one, treat their aunt with coldness and rudeness. The youngest niece is kind, thoughtful and affectionate, and takes the aunt's part on all occasions. After Mrs. Burt has learned all that is necessary, she disappears. Soon after the nieces receive a letter from Uncle Charles inviting them to accompany him to Philadelphia on a trip of pleasure and education, and to meet a dear friend of his. They arrive in the beautiful home of Mrs. Burt who, surrounded by her servants and dressed in elegant attire, greets them much to the mortification of the sisters who had treated her cruelly. Mrs. Burt invites Mabel, the youngest niece, to remain with her and take the place in her heart and home, made vacant by the death of her daughter. The others return to New York, sadder but wiser girls. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
