The climax comes when the wife tells her husband to have dinner at the club, as she is entertaining, and the husband tells her that, as she cares for society more than she does for him, the best course for her is to get a divorce. She replies that she intends to live her life to suit herself and that a divorce is not her intention. After a quarrel with his wife, the man realizes that there is no love between them. The man's stenographer, who is a quiet girl and who secretly loves her employer, sees the struggle in his face and is unable to hide her own love for him. The man, too, is in love with her and has a hard battle to keep from avowing his love, but his honor triumphs. He decides his only course is to leave and try to forget. The man accordingly writes a note to the girl stating that he can no longer contain his love for her, so is leaving. His honor forbids him to divorce his wife. The Idler and the Roué are two of the wife's most frequent callers and either one or the other can be found in her society at every function. The husband returns home and packs for a long trip. Arriving at the station, the man remembers leaving a picture of the girl, and on learning that the train is late, determines to return home to get it. The wife, meanwhile, has received the Idler and is entertaining him in the reception room. The husband arrives and the husband gets the picture. Hearing voices in the parlor he looks in and finds his wife in the Idler's arms. He calls the valet to see the action and, leaving a note for the wife with the valet, leaves without having been seen. The girl has received the note and breaks down sobbing. The man comes in and comes to her. Her joy is so great on seeing him that he starts to embrace her, then thinks and takes only her hands. He tells her that some day their hour of happiness will come. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
