Blue Blood and Yellow (1915)
Anita Logan, wealthy heiress, has an ingrown superstition with regard to the worth of "blue blood." Alfred Scott, aristocratic idler, has an inherited conviction of the worth of gold dollars, and is prouder of his ancestors than they ever could be of him. A young man, a student, loves her, but his "class" is a negligible quantity, though his mind is clean and his love has no gold alloy in it. She chooses the "blue blood," and marries him, for her faith in his lineage. He marries her for his faith in the buying power of her money. A palsy of fear overcomes him when he learns that her wealth is forfeited should she marry before she reaches the age of twenty-five. He persuades her, "for her own sake," to keep it dark, and she is touched by his consideration. Under cover of his apparent freedom, Scott makes overtures to Anita's sister. He is apprehended and Anita, in order to be divorced from the aristocratic philanderer, has to declare her marriage and forfeit her fortune. But the "blue blood" has one move left. He threatens to compromise Ann's sister's name, should the suit for divorce be pushed. Ann, to save her sister's name must live out her life with the blooded aristocrat, and her sister's part of the bargain is to support them. Paul, the scientist, can never know the fulfillment of his love. Who Pays?
