Summary Through a chance meeting, stenographer Marjorie Helmer becomes acquainted with Melville Kingston, a millionaire whose cynical views of love and marriage have been influenced strongly by his brother Miles's unhappy marriage. When Melville offers to support Marjorie, she realizes that his intentions are not honorable and stoutly refuses. Later, however, she loses her job, and at her wits' end, agrees to accept Melville's gifts provided that he treats her with respect. Marjorie interprets reports of a "Mrs. Kingston," actually Melville's brother's wife, as evidence that Melville is a cad and sends for her old sweetheart, Robert Grant, in despair. When Robert visits the lavishly attired Marjorie in her expensive apartment, however, he assumes the worst and attacks her. In the end, Melville confesses that he loves Marjorie and wishes to marry her. View more details
