Her Answer (1915)
Victor Sherelan has been the blot of one woman's existence. Grace Morgan is about to marry him, knowing nothing of Madge, the woman he has wronged, when an appointment comes to him as manager of the Philippine branch of his corporation. Grace hesitates to marry him immediately because of an invalid mother to whom she owes everything. The mother overhears the young people discussing her, and resolves to remove herself from her daughter's path to happiness. Victor and Grace go to the theater. Madge, forced by hunger to steal, enters the Morgan home. She is traced there by a detective who has been watching her, and cannot escape. Just as she desperately seeks refuge in Mrs. Morgan's room, the latter whispers a prayer and raises a revolver to her breast. Madge is between two fires. Downstairs her pursuers are hammering at the door and she cannot turn back. She snatches the revolver from the hand of the bewildered mother and implores protection. The detective finds the revolver, however, and is trying to discover who owns it, when Victor and Grace return from the theater. A policeman downstairs explains the situation and Grace hurries upstairs. She has already promised to give Victor her answer before they part for the night. Coming into her mother's room and seeing the revolver, Grace realizes what her mother meant to do. Innocently asking who the strange woman is, Grace exposes her and the detective drags Madge out. In the hall below Victor is staggered to see Madge brought from above. He is about to denounce her for what he thinks has been her exposure of their former relations, but as she does not see him, he lets her pass. Madge knows now that she can never leave her mother and sends down her answer to Victor. She will not marry him. Bitterly disappointed, Victor goes out.
