In the end, Virginia leaves with Sonny and then marries Stoneman, her employer, but when he is imprisoned on embezzlement charges, she is left destitute. Years later, Sonny and his wife Marjorie take Virginia into their home, but in a repeat of family history, Marjorie soon becomes jealous of Virginia.
