The story
“This delightful play holds the interest—as it is a question whether the young man will choose the girl who is worthy of him. Also, Muriel’s self-sacrifice and unselfish sympathy with Jack in his troubles with the first girl make us especially anxious that her love shall be recognized and fulfilled. The young civil engineer is obliged to leave town when his sweetheart quarrels with him—he is so broken up over the affair. He had always adored Fanna, and they were engaged—when he happened to see her taking a very affectionate goodnight of another fellow. Even then he would have forgiven her—but she, in a fit of anger, handed him back his ring—and a call to another town on a new job proved a welcome relief to Jack. There, of course, he meets the second girl—who unselfishly does her best to reconcile Fanna and Jack. He is on the point of going back to her—when he finds that he cannot bring himself to leave Muriel. He lets the train go, and hurries back to find his real sweetheart—and the play ends exactly as we have hoped all along.”
