The Woman Pays

剧情简介

Beth Coventry, the ward of a wealthy aunt, and a favorite in society, is beloved by three men. The three suitors are Philip Murdock, a rich broker, Marquis de Tourville, a brilliant and polished social lion, and John Langton, a young banker, poor, but promising. Following an impulse, coupled with the advice of her aunt, Mrs. Gordon, Beth accepts Langton and they are married. Mrs. Connie Beverly, a young widow, whose husband was Langton's best friend, mistakes Langton's kindly interest in her for a deeper feeling, and becomes infatuated with him. In her determination to win his love she plans to ruin his home. John and Beth are living in a modest little home which they call "Love Cottage." Mrs. Beverly calls on Beth there and finds her reading letters which she had written to the Marquis before her marriage, and which he has graciously returned.
