The Price of Pride

剧情简介

On her son David's second birthday, Madge Black witnesses her best chum, Nan Westland, kissing Jeffrey Arnold Black, her husband, a successful lawyer. Madge orders Nan from the house. Angered, Jeffrey does not explain that it is his money which maintains the home, and not her father's as Madge believes. Jeffrey leaves his wife and son. On board a westbound train, Jeffrey meets Nan. She explains that she has been compromised, and that she is going away to hide. Touched by her apparent sorrow, Jeffrey tells her that, though he doesn't love her, he will try to protect her. In love with him, Nan is willing to accept him on any terms. A year later a son is born to Nan and Jeffrey. She pleads with him to divorce Madge and marry her, for the sake of their child, William's, name, but he will not hear of it. Ben Richardson, Jeffrey's client, is a frequent visitor at their home.
