In Blossom Time (1911)
Victorian, the heir and son of Don Pedro, a Spanish nobleman resident in Florida at the time of Spanish occupation, falls in love with Angelica, the gardener's daughter, and his childhood playmate. Confirming the oft repeated quotation that "Love knows no caste." Don Pedro perceives his son's attachment, but thinking it is simply a mild flirtation, is only amused. As time goes on however, the Spanish Don discovers Victorian really loves his little childhood friend and orders him to renounce the girl and go with him abroad. Fearing the opposition of his father and to outwit him, Victorian persuades Angelica to wed at once and the good priest, Father Francisco is induced to perform a secret marriage. Don Pedro, learning of the secret wedding, orders the gardener and his daughter to send Victorian away, threatening to disinherit his son and to turn them from his door. Coerced by her father and Don Pedro, Angelica writes to Victorian, "You must do as your father wishes, I will sec you no more. He will tell you why.'' Don Pedro gives the note to his son and tells him that Angelica has become tired of him and does not care to see his face again. Victorian, heart broken and pressed by his father, consents to go abroad. Again the season of blossoms. Angelica is the mother of a sweet little child, while her heartbroken husband is traveling in distant parts. Don Pedro suddenly dying abroad, the sight of pear blossoms decides Victorian to return home. Arriving at the old castle his unquenched love for the gardener's little daughter compels him to seek her. Locating the unhappy mother with her infant child in the pear orchard at the identical spot where the original troth was plighted a happy reconciliation is effected.
