Suspicion (1910)
Mrs. Hall's little child dies and she grieves herself into an almost complete breakdown. Her husband and her doctor advise her to desist. In order to satisfy the longings of her nature and seek consolation she interests herself in an orphanage, where she goes every day, unknown to her husband, to care for and help the little ones. She sews for them, loves to assist them in the playroom of the home in memory of her daughter. Mr. Hall notices that his wife goes out every day, and that she is hiding something from him. He becomes suspicious and engages a detective to watch her. The detective follows her to the children's home, sees her enter the place with a gentleman, and reports to Mr. Hall. The husband goes to the orphanage with the detective. They gain entrance to the building and hear the wife talking in one of the rooms. They rush in and find Mrs. Hall surrounded by the little ones. The husband is nonplussed and abashed. The gentleman who was seen entering the institution with Mrs. Hall comes into the room, hand Mrs. Hall his card. 'Albeit H. Houston, Superintendent of Bethany Home." Mr. Hall now feels heartily ashamed of his suspicion, and completely overcome when his wife leads him to the tablet and he reads: "The Play Room, Bethany Orphan Asylum. The Gift of Mrs. A.J. Hall in memory of her daughter Helen, who died September 1st, 1910, aged eight years." The children, superintendent and the detective leave the room. Left to themselves. Mrs. Hall places her hand tenderly on his shoulder, and he sorrowfully asks her forgiveness for his unjust and unkind suspicions.
