The Flower Girl's Romance (1912)

As Arthur Rodney passes Reva's flower stand he sees that she is being annoyed by two ruffians and quickly comes to her assistance, compelling the men to apologize. Reva is greatly impressed with Rodney's courtesy. The following morning while Reva is on her way from the ranch with her fresh stock of flowers, she comes upon Arthur and his sweetheart, Bessie Berkow. Jealousy immediately takes possession of the girl and she awakens to the fact that she is in love with Arthur. A week later the Berkows inspect the ranch at Verdugo, California, and order flowers for the wedding of their daughter. Reva is disturbed at the sight of Arthur and Bessie and, consumed with jealousy, is strongly tempted to push Bessie off of the precipice as they climb a nearby mountain to view the surrounding country but her better nature asserts itself and the two girls leave the rock together. Reva's brooding over her unrequited love for Arthur causes a mental derangement. In her deliriums, she runs to the home of the Berkows and bursts upon the bridal couple shortly after the clergyman has finished the ceremony. Reva's father, who has followed her from the flower ranch, explains to the assembled guests the unfortunate plight of his unhappy daughter. A reaction takes place and Reva in a moment of consciousness asks forgiveness.
