After he begins to suspect her due to the distrust of his puritan relatives, they separate. Fauvette becomes a famous author, but her generosity exceeds her income. She is having difficulties with a money lender when Martin returns to woo her again. They find their love revived in the more genial atmosphere of New York City.
