The Wood Violet (1912)
The birds, the trees and all nature, bring peace and joy to the heart of Olympia, a child of nature, born and brought up in its midst. Marvin Ross, on a hunting trip in the mountain fastnesses where Olympia dwells, is pursuing a rabbit. He comes up with the girl, and falls in love with her. The young man takes her to her father's cabin, where he remains a few days, during which time he becomes better acquainted with Olympia. She insists that he must not harm the animals of the woods, and to confirm his promise, he throws away his gun. He tells her of his love and she promises to become his wife. After gaining the consent of her father, they are married. They go to the city, where Marvin, being wealthy, establishes her in a beautiful mansion. She pines and longs for the woods. Her husband, noticing this, goes back to her forest home, and with her father, erects a lodge on the border of a lake. During his absence Olympia cannot withstand her longing, and discarding her finery, dresses herself in the clothing in which she loved to roam, wanders back to the scenes of her childhood. There she finds the lodge which her husband has built for her and a little later, he and her father find her. Her joy is unbounded when he tells her that he has built it for their future home, and the three of them will live there 'mid the scenes so dear to her heart.
