Mrs. Trenwith Comes Home (1914)

Mrs. Trenwith is a typical shallow, thoughtless society woman. Her husband is wrapped up in business and as a result their little daughter, Marjory, suffers greatly from neglect. Her old nurse, Franchette, loves her dearly. Mr. Trenwith leaves town on a business trip while his wife goes to a house party, where she meets Ralph Eccles, a typical society tempter. She leads him on. Shortly after she receives a telegram that Marjory is ill and asks for her constantly. She thinks nothing of the message and makes no preparation to leave. Then her conscience begins to work and she dashes for the first train home, only to find Marjory unconscious. Eccles follows and insists upon seeing her. For the first time she tells him that she is married and refuses to see him. Mr. Trenwith arrives just in time to see the child open her eves, and for the first time they realize what selfish creatures they are.
