After the colonel's death, Janet and Edward elope. Edward is forbidden to return to his home. Several years later, very ill, he is taken back by his mother, on condition that Janet relinquish her baby and Edward. Edward's strength does not return, pining for Janet. Remorseful, the mother brings the girl back to her home, and Edward's normal mental state returns when he sees Janet's wonderful smile spreading over her face as she clasps the baby to her heart.
