Summary Bobby Austin becomes infatuated with Lady Sylvia Hutton, a leading member of British society, and asks that she divorce her husband and marry him instead.

Lady Sylvia becomes enraged and then suddenly loses her beauty, becoming in seconds a withered old hag. She subsequently reveals that she was once an operatic favorite, had been cast aside when her voice gave out, and had lately been restored to the appearance of youth by a surgeon so that she might return to society and again bask in its acclaim. Bobby tells Elizabeth of his love, while Lady Sylvia finds solace in the arms of her husband. View more details
