Reynolds has a daughter, Vivian, and Williams has a son, Jack. The men have always wanted to see their children married to each other to cement relations between the two families. When Jack turns 20 his father dies, leaving him under Reynolds' guardianship. Several months later Jack decides to try his hand at being an artist in Europe for a few years. He bids goodbye to the now 16-year-old Vivian, who promises to marry him when he returns. Not long after Jack leaves, Vivian meets George Haldane, a playboy with little money and less character, and falls in love with him. When Jack returns from Europe, Vivian tells him of her relationship with Haldane, but doesn't tell him that they are actually married. Vivian's father disowns her and Jack, brokenhearted, returns to Europe. Vivian gets pregnant, and three months after the baby is born George deserts her for an old girlfriend. Then things go from bad to worse for her. Written by [email protected] See less
