AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Marital reunion. A poor mysterious widow and a handsome wealthy bachelor inspire village gossip - condemnatory and speculative - until a chance meeting through their occupying the same church pew causes the widow to faint. Eventually it is revealed that she is his wife who left him early in their marriage after a quarrel and whose fear of return was increased by the death of their baby soon after. He has forgiven all and with the help of their friends - the village doctor and his wife - they are reconciled. (PB)
